The knowledge of the workspace for a robotic system on construction sites represents an essential resource to ensure the work progress, guarantee the safety of the construction tasks, and avoid robot damage. Despite the dramatic development of 3D printing technologies with robotic systems in recent years, these are still several challenges to...

Within the broad context of teaching and research, the results of a project involving a pavilion based on developable wooden surfaces, parametric design, and digital fabrication are presented through the collaboration of Ibero-American universities. The project addresses applications of wood to architecture that involves the CNC cutting of...

Los establecimientos hospitalarios constituyen morfologías complejas con altos requerimientos energéticos, por lo tanto, la generación energética solar integrada en este tipo de edificios puede ser un aporte relevante para su funcionamiento, pero su adecuada implementación requiere relacionar volumetría, demandas y tecnologías. Los métodos...

The construction industry is currently technologically challenged to incorporate new developments for enhancing the process, such as the use of 3D printing for complex building structures,which is the aim of this brief. To do so, we show a systematic study regarding the usability and performance of mobile manipulators as ...

La construcción impresa en 3D ha surgido recientemente como una nueva tecnología constructiva, a través de experiencias diseminadas alrededor del mundo. Este artículo revisa la documentación existente y los ejemplos de esta tecnología para caracterizar sus proyecciones potenciales, en particular, aquellas orientadas a mejorar la productividad y...

Las construcciones mediante impresion-3D pueden reducir recursos y tiempos de ejecución, impulsando la productividad y la sustentabilidad de la edificación. Si bien esta nueva tecnología se está desarrollando en distintas partes del mundo y ya hay ejemplos diversos, no se han determinado las condiciones de diseño arquitectónico con este nuevo...

Primary care centers are establishments with elevated social relevance and high operational energy consumption. In Chile, there more than 628 family healthcare centers (CESFAM) have been built in the last two decades and with plans for hundreds more in the next few years. We revised the architecture, construction management and energy...

3D-printed construction allows elaborating building elements with diverse shapes that are digitally controlled. This paper exposes the modeling of 3D-printed curved walls through parametric programming in building information modeling (BIM) in order to support a cost-efficient building design. The advantage of using curved walls is based on the...

Collaborative work in Building Information Modeling (BIM) projects is frequently understood as the interaction of modelers in an asynchronous way through modification requests or via e-mail/telephone. However, alternative work methodologies based on creating a common and synchronous environment allow solving issues instantaneously during the...
