3. 3.

   What does SAM stand for in SAM100?

   • Semi-Automated Masonry
   • Structural Automated Machine
   • Site Automated Masonry

   Hint

   Recall the key function of this robotic system.

4. 4.

   Concrete printing robots operate on-site only.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the flexibility of robotic systems.

5. 5.

   Evaluate the impact of integrating robotic assembly systems on project timelines in construction. Provide examples of both on-site and off-site systems.

   Hint

   Consider how each robotic system enhances efficiency.

6. 6.

   Analyze the sustainability benefits of using prefabricated assembly methods in construction. How do robotic systems facilitate this?

   Hint

   Think about the environmental impact of manual versus robotic methods.
