The objective of the course is to transmit to students knowledge about robotics and automation in construction, a sector that generates 5.5% of GDP in the European Union (EU). In the EU there are more than 3M companies, most of them in the building sector. It has relatively low level of robotics, automation and digitalization in the sector, so the advances in this field will lead to a great economic and social impact. Spain is one of the leading countries in digitization in construction, so the demand for experts in the field is very high. The subject will focus on the robotization and automation of building construction and is divided into two fundamental parts: 1) robot in construction, where emphasis is placed on the new technologies of modular and industrialized construction and robots are described in the different phases of the buildin construction covering the complete cycle from its erection to its completion and demolition (if necessary), and 2) automation and digitization of the construction that includes, among others, the concepts of BIM (Building Information Model), Lean construction, intelligent and eco-sustainable buildings, LIDAR modeling of the heritage of European buildings and the new security systems on site.
