The Promotion and Development of Construction Automation Technology in Taiwan

For the past decade, Taiwan?s construction industry has faced several challenges. The shortage of labor, increasing environmental consciousness, the competition of foreign construction firms, and the necessity to increase productivity are among the major concerns. In response to these problems, construction industry was included as one of the many industries targeted to promote and practice automation under the ten year national project ?The Industrial Automation Plan of the R.O.C??, which was supported by the Executive Yuan, to strengthen competitiveness and increase productivity of Taiwan?s construction industry.
