Driven by the need for improvements in safety, productivity, quality and environmental impact, the Construction Automation Group at the University of Texas focuses on the development of automation technology for the construction industry. Activities include basic research, full-scale prototype design, field testing, and development of effective application principles and business strategies for implementation.

The Construction Automation Laboratory is located at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus, 12 miles north of the main campus. It is comprised of well over 3000 square feet of indoor lab space, indoor test facilities, and several acres of outdoor test fields. Computers in the lab are used for automated systems control, internal and external sensor data analysis, and documentation. A wide variety of software is installed.

The Construction Automation Laboratory has full access to well equipped machine and electronics shops within the University. The shops are available to fabricate, test, and modify mechanical and electronic parts.
