The chapters are grouped in 3 main sections according to the theme or the type of technology they treat. Section I is dedicated to describe and analyse the main research challenges of Robotics and Automation in Construction (RAC). The second section consists of 12 chapters and is dedicated to the technologies and new developments employed to automate processes in the construction industry. Among these we have examples of ICT technologies used for purposes such as construction visualisation systems, added value management systems, construction materials and elements tracking using multiple IDs devices. This section also deals with Sensorial Systems and software used in the construction to improve the performances of machines such as cranes, and in improving Human-Machine Interfaces (MMI). Authors adopted Mixed and Augmented Reality in the MMI to ease the construction operations. Section III is dedicated to describe case studies of RAC and comprises 8 chapters. Among the eight chapters the section presents a robotic excavator and a semi-automated façade cleaning system. The section also presents work dedicated to enhancing the force of the workers in construction through the use of Robotic-powered exoskeletons and body joint-adapted assistive units, which allow the handling of greater loads. 606 $aAutomation 610 $aAutomatic control engineering 615 0$aAutomation. 676 $a670.427 700 $aBalaguer$b Carlos$4edt$01364582 702 $aAbderrahim$b Mohamed 702 $aBalaguer$b Carlos 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137703003321 996 $aRobotics and Automation in Construction$93386006 997 $aUNINA
