This new edition of Industrialization and Robotics in Building is retitled, revised, and updated to take into account the growing role of automation in the industrialized building process—in its design, production, and construction. This most significant change, which has taken place since the book was first published in 1990, is amply described and discussed in this second edition. The contents of this book are based on my lectures over the past 20 years at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, the State University of North Carolina, the University of Texas at Austin, and Hong Kong University. The material is drawn from my experience as a consultant in Israel and other countries, from my research work at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and the Carnegie-Mellon University of Pittsburgh, and from the information generously supplied to me by many companies and institutions in various countries. There is a general feeling that the vast gains in productivity and quality, realized in the 20th century in manufacturing industries, have not been matched by similar progress in building construction. This book reflects my deep belief that a significant remedy to this problem can be attained only with industrialization and automation replacing manual labor in all phases of the building process.
