Over the past several decades, substantial amounts of sensors and sensing systems have
been developed for civil infrastructure systems. This special issue focuses on state-of-the-art robotics
and automation technologies, including construction automation, robotics, instrumentation, monitoring,
inspection, control, and rehabilitation for civil infrastructure. The issue also covers construction
informatics supporting sensing, analysis and design activities needed to operate smart and sustainable
civil infrastructure. Examples include robotic systems applied to civil infrastructure and equipped with
various sensing technologies, such as optical sensors, laser sensors, wireless sensors, multi-sensor
fusion, etc. This special issue is published in an effort to disseminate current advances of various
robotics and automation technologies for civil infrastructure and built environment
