Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New technologies are emerging for the automation of construction and maintenance processes. The ever-increasing labor turnover rate, safety concerns, and competition in today's construction market has made the emergence of new technologies inevitable. New construction technologies include both soft and hard automation. Soft automation refers to the use of information technology, while hard automation refers to the use of automated machinery and robots. They are often combined to achieve a specific goal. The core foundations of emerging construction technologies are computing/information technology, BIM, AI, sensing, and robotics. In this regard, this Special Issue invites you to submit original research papers regarding ‘Construction Automation and Robotics’. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Data sensing and modeling technologies such as digital twin, Internet of Things, sensor networks, drones
- Construction automation technologies such as intelligent construction equipment, robots, and human–machine interaction
- Data-driven artificial intelligence technologies such as big data and machine learning
- Visualization technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality
- Computer vision technologies such as digital image processing, object detection and tracking, location identification, and visual pattern recognition
- nD modeling and simulation technologies such as virtual physical systems and processor modeling
- State-of-the-art methods such as modular, prefabrication, and 3D printing
- BIM and construction automation/robotics application technology
- Construction automation/robotics-based construction project management
- Construction automation/robotics-related systems and policies

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
