This award will support a one-year research visit by Dr. Roozbeh Kangari, School of Civil Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, to the Advanced Robotics Laboratory of the Shimizu Corporation, Tokyo, Japan. The Shimizu Corporation is the largest construction company in Japan, and has a highly advanced construction robotics laboratory. Dr. Kangari will carry out research there in the area of robotics and automation in construction, and he expects to establish a base for continuing collaboration between Georgia Tech and Shimizu in this field. Information, ideas, skills, and techniques used in the research and development of robots will be exchanged between the U.S. investigator and the Japanese researchers. The ultimate goal of this project is the establishment of a world-class construction robotics center within the Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems (CIMS) Robotics Laboratory at Georgia Tech. An important aim of this center will be to help increase productivity in the U.S. construction industry, and make U.S. contractors more competitive in the world market. Robotics and automation are likely to play an increasingly important role in the construction industry in the years ahead. They are expected to increase productivity, improve quality, reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve safety in the construction work environment. Japanese construction companies have been actively involved in research and development of construction robots, and are aggressively transferring advanced technology from the research laboratory to the construction site. Dr. Kangari's visit to the Advanced Robotics Laboratory of the Shimizu Corporation is expected to provide him with knowledge and experience that should greatly facilitate the establishment of a construction robotics center at the CIMS Robotics Laboratory at Georgia Tech.

该奖项将支持佐治亚理工学院土木工程学院 Roozbeh Kangari 博士前往日本东京清水公司先进机器人实验室进行为期一年的研究访问。 清水公司是日本最大的建筑公司，拥有非常先进的建筑机器人实验室。 Kangari博士将在那里开展机器人技术和建筑自动化领域的研究，他希望为佐治亚理工学院和清水在这一领域的持续合作建立一个基础。 美国研究人员和日本研究人员将交换机器人研发中使用的信息、想法、技能和技术。该项目的最终目标是在佐治亚理工学院计算机集成制造系统（CIMS）机器人实验室内建立世界一流的建筑机器人中心。 该中心的一个重要目标是帮助提高美国建筑业的生产力，并使美国承包商在世界市场上更具竞争力。 未来几年，机器人和自动化可能会在建筑行业中发挥越来越重要的作用。 它们有望提高生产力、提高质量、降低成本、提高效率并改善建筑工作环境的安全性。 日本建筑企业一直积极参与建筑机器人的研发，并积极将先进技术从研究实验室转移到施工现场。 Kangari博士对清水公司先进机器人实验室的访问预计将为他提供知识和经验，这将极大地促进在佐治亚理工学院CIMS机器人实验室建立建筑机器人中心。
