LABORATORY AND FIELD RESEARCH IN CONSTRUCTION AUTOMATION. IN: PREPARING FOR CONSTRUCTION IN THE 21ST CENTURY, PROCEEDINGS OF CONSTRUCTION CONGRESS '91, SPONSORED BY THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS IN COOPERATION WITH THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF MINING ENGINEERS AND THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, APRIL 13-16, 1991

This paper presents a series of research projects to build and test prototype systems. It has been found that prototyping provides an economical approach to support both basic and applied research. Testing of bar code labels in the construction environment, assessing productivity of an innovative sensor-integrated nailer, and investigating path control methods for automated excavation are some projects discussed in this paper.
