Robot-assisted assembly has shown great potential in modular construction for the future. However, as complexity of prefabricated structural modules increases, likelihood unexpected robotic collisions also rises, such between robots and during process. Most collision avoidance methods rely on known robot specifications, especially work envelope, that is, range profiles movement created by a arm moving forward, backward, up, down. In contrast, it is unknown what models will be applied future...
