Area of Science:

Robotics and Automation in Construction
Generative Design
Construction Site Optimization

Background:

Facade assembly is complex, requiring precise robot arm and module placement.
Current methods may lead to inefficiencies, collisions, and increased risk.
Optimizing robot spatial location is crucial for construction productivity.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a dataset and method for optimizing robot arm and facade module placement in construction sites.
To introduce the iFOBOT dataset, comprising three sub-datasets for facade assembly tasks.
To provide a generative design approach for improving construction site operations.

Main Methods:

Utilizing a set of generative algorithms in graphical algorithm editors.
Dividing the dataset (iFOBOT) into iFOBOT-D, iFOBOT-B, and iFOBOT-L for specific subtasks.
Including sample projects, scripts, and outcome results for user guidance.

Main Results:

Optimized placement of robot arm workstations to minimize collisions.
Reduced reachability issues and robot travel time during facade assembly.
Parametric format enabling reusability of the dataset and developed tools.

Conclusions:

The iFOBOT dataset offers a method for optimizing robot-based facade assembly.
This approach can significantly minimize risks and increase productivity in construction.
The parametric nature and provided guidance facilitate practical application in job sites.
