An overall objective of energy efficiency in the built environment is to improve building and systems performances in terms of durability, comfort and economics. In order to predict, improve and meet a certain set of performance…
The cloud computing industry has grown rapidly over the last decade, and with this growth there is a significant increase in demand for compute resources. Demand is manifested in the form of Virtual Machine (VM) requests, which need to be…
One of the major challenges of a real-time autonomous robotic system for construction monitoring is to simultaneously localize, map, and navigate over the lifetime of the robot, with little or no human intervention. Past research on…
Processing-in-memory (PIM) has been explored for decades by computer architects, yet it has never seen the light of day in real-world products due to their high design overheads and lack of a killer application. With the advent of critical…
Virtual reality is widely adopted for applications such as training, education, and collaboration. The construction industry, known for its complex projects and numerous personnel involved, relies heavily on effective collaboration. Setting…
We study robot construction problems where multiple autonomous robots rearrange stacks of prefabricated blocks to build stable structures. These problems are challenging due to ramifications of actions, true concurrency, and requirements of…
Agent-based models (ABMs) are ubiquitous in research and industry. Currently, simulating ABMs involves at least some imperative (step-by-step) computer instructions. An alternative approach is declarative programming, in which a set of…
Quality control of assembly processes is essential in manufacturing to ensure not only the quality of individual components but also their proper integration into the final product. To assist in this matter, automated assembly control using…

In this work, we propose a framework called Auto-Assembly for automated robotic assembly from design files and demonstrate a practical implementation on modular parts joined by fastening using a robotic cell consisting of two robots. We…
Concrete workability measure is mostly determined based on subjective assessment of a certified assessor with visual inspections. The potential human error in measuring the workability and the resulting unnecessary adjustments for the…
The present work deals with the formulation of a Virtual Element Method (VEM) for two dimensional structural problems. The contribution is split in two parts: in part I, the elastic problem is discussed, while in part II [3] the method is…
Building Information Modeling (BIM) produces three-dimensional models of buildings combining the geometrical information with a wide range of properties. BIM is slowly but inevitably revolutionizing the architecture, engineering, and…
Virtual human techniques have been used a lot in industrial design in order to consider human factors and ergonomics as early as possible. The physical status (the physical capacity of virtual human) has been mostly treated as invariable in…
Over the past three decades, countless embodied yet virtual agents have freely evolved inside computer simulations, but vanishingly few were realized as physical robots. This is because evolution was conducted at a level of abstraction that…
To date, most probabilistic reasoning systems have relied on a fixed belief network constructed at design time. The network is used by an application program as a representation of (in)dependencies in the domain. Probabilistic inference…
