Abstract

The NIST Construction Metrology and Automation Group (CMAG), in cooperation with the NIST Intelligent Systems Division (ISD), is researching robotic structural steel placement as part of a project to develop an Automated Steel Construction Testbed (ASCT). The initial phase of this project centers on tracking a six degree-of-freedom (DOF) robotic crane with a laser-based site measurement system (SMS) to provide position feedback for autonomous steel assembly. Follow-on efforts will use a high-resolution LADAR scanner co-registered with the SMS to provide world model data. The combination of these two advanced metrology systems provides an opportunity for testing performance characteristics of mobile intelligent systems.
