Books by Thomas (Technische Universitat Munchen) Bock

Guides students, as well as professionals and academics, to understand the new and growing research field of Ambient/Active Assisted Living (AAL). Provides an easy-to-understand medical perspective to architects, designers, and engineers, bridging the different disciplines and demonstrating how they fuse together to create the future of AAL technology.

Combining architectural theory with the latest trends in manufacturing technology, this volume shows how Single-Task Construction Robots (STCRs) can improve productivity in the construction industry. It presents two hundred types of STCRs and includes numerous real-world case studies, making it an excellent resource for professional engineers and researchers.

The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics series focuses on the implementation of automation and robot technology to renew the construction industry. This volume outlines technologies in building component manufacturing based on building materials and large-scale prefabrication holding the potential to deliver complex components and products which are introduced and discussed.

The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics series focuses on the implementation of automation and robot technology to renew the construction industry. Site Automation extends the new technology of robotics in building-component manufacturing and construction introduced in earlier volumes to on-site structured environments and on-site automated factories.

Robot-Oriented Design introduces the design, innovation, and management methodologies that are key to the realization and implementation of the advanced concepts and technologies presented in the subsequent volumes of The Cambridge Handbooks in Construction Robotics series. This book describes the efficient deployment of advanced construction and building technology. It is concerned with the co-adaptation of construction products, processes, organization, and management, and with automated/robotic technology, so that the implementation of modern technology becomes easier and more efficient. It is also concerned with technology and innovation management methodologies and the generation of life cycle-oriented views related to the use of advanced technologies in construction.
