Scope

This Symposium is the seventeenth of IAARC sponsored meetings in the field of automatization and robotization in construction which follows ISARC symposia held in Tokyo (1996), in Pittsburgh (1997), in Munich (1998), and in Madrid (1999). As the past symposia, 17^th ISARC will gather the world's leading researchers, developers, and end-users. The aim of this symposium is to present and discuss the new challenges of automation and robotics in construction in the 21^st century.
