  Automation in construction has the potential to expand the technological
landscape of labor intensive tasks, and bring gains in efficiency and
productivity to sustain global competitiveness. In this paper we propose a
task-level approach for assembly of spiral brick columns. Our extensive
computational simulations using the generalized models of spiral brick columns
show the feasibility, the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed
approach. Our results offer the potential to use robots in automated
construction of spiral brick columns with utmost efficiency.
