The modeling of the HyPA robot is also presented, including the essential parameters to define the model and the construction of the relevant mathematical expressions. Furthermore, a model-based motion generation scheme is proposed to validate the working principle, which combines feedforward motion planning and feedback error correction.

Determining an optimal construction process scheduling program is an urgent challenge during the project execution stage. This paper presents a multi-objective optimization problem with the objective function of minimizing the total construction time and maximizing the coordinated scheduling coefficient, and proposes a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm based on the subspecies differentiation strategy (SD-NSGA) to solve the problem. The algorithm extends the competition phenomenon at the individual level to the subpopulation level in the traditional genetic algorithm (GA). The results demonstrate that SD-NSGA exhibits superior optimization capabilities. Compared with the initial scheme of a real residential construction project, the total working time is shortened by 35.49% and the integrated dispatch factor is increased by 365.79%. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can offer a valuable reference for determining scheduling plans in practical engineering projects.<span><span><sup>1</sup></span></span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":8660,"journal":{"name":"Automation in Construction","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 105809"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142433451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional reporting and management methods face challenges such as data loss, susceptibility to manipulation, and poor traceability, which undermine their reliability and collaborative efforts. Blockchain technology can enhance data integrity, security, transparency, and reliability in safety data management. However, conventional Layer-1 blockchain systems require third-party verification processes, compromising participant anonymity—crucial for effective near-miss reporting and incur high transaction fees, presenting several practical concerns. To address these issues, this paper developed and tested a zero-knowledge proof and Layer-2 blockchain integrated system for near-miss reporting. This system was validated through a proof-of-concept and hypothetical case study, achieving perfect unlinkability with a degree of anonymity scored at <em>d</em> = 1 and reducing the cost of report submission to USD 0.0011.

However, the current generative building morphology design presents two broad weaknesses. Firstly, it fails to consider the interaction between a design and its backdrop context, particularly in high-density metropolitan areas. Secondly, it fails to harness existing design knowledge embedded in existing designs. This paper aims to develop a data-driven generative design model: VmRF, which can learn from existing designs and generate plausible and contextual building morphologies. The model consists of a variational autoencoder (VAE) to compress high-dimensional building morphology datasets into low-dimensional building morphology datasets and a multivariate random forest (mRF) to identify explainable relationships between design parameters and morphology patterns. Performance evaluation shows the superiority of the VmRF model in terms of training speed and prediction fitness. Consequently, the proposed model promotes enhanced design efficiency, innovation in contextual awareness, and evidence-based decision-making in building morphology design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8660,"journal":{"name":"Automation in Construction","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 105820"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142418472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
