Abstract

Despite construction robots being developed in the construction discipline, they are not widely deployed in the industry and field yet. One reason is the complex robot control interfaces and programming methods, which pose challenges for construction workers to learn and use. A robot simulator, RoBIM, has been designed to address this challenge by using a straightforward and user-friendly interface to simplify the robot control and programming process. This paper focuses on the development of an educational package tailored to train construction students and workers in utilizing the RoBIM simulator effectively. The package consists of three modules: column building, brick wall laying, and frame assembling. Through examples within the educational package, this paper illustrates its practical implementation and significance in overcoming the learning curve associated with construction robots, which promotes the integration of the RoBIM simulator within the construction industry.
