Abstract

Recent advancements in large-scale additive manufacturing have extended its application in the building industry, delivering notable gains in productivity, efficiency, environmental sustainability, and safety compared with traditional construction methods. Aerial additive manufacturing (aerial AM), which uses aerial robots for unbounded construction tasks, offers distinct advantages, such as scalability at height, enhanced access to remote or challenging locations, and rapid on-demand repair capabilities. Despite several small-scale demonstrations, deploying aerial robots in construction still presents critical challenges and unresolved scientific questions. This Review provides a comprehensive analysis of current aerial AM research, highlights key opportunities and challenges at large scales, and introduces an autonomy framework aimed at clarifying the overarching challenges inherent in the technology.

空中增材制造：面向空中机器人现场建筑施工

最近大规模增材制造的进步已经扩展了它在建筑行业的应用，与传统的建筑方法相比，在生产率、效率、环境可持续性和安全性方面取得了显著的进步。空中增材制造（Aerial AM）使用空中机器人完成无限施工任务，具有明显的优势，例如高空可扩展性，增强了对远程或具有挑战性位置的访问能力，以及快速按需维修能力。尽管有几次小规模的演示，在建筑中部署空中机器人仍然面临着严峻的挑战和未解决的科学问题。本综述对当前航空AM研究进行了全面分析，强调了大规模的关键机遇和挑战，并介绍了一个旨在阐明该技术固有的总体挑战的自主框架。
