Abstract: The robotic arm has emerged as an essential tool for the rapid construction of high-quality buildings due to its ability to repeat instructions, achieve precise positioning and fine operations. The robotic arm can also effectively replace workers to complete building construction under low temperature and short daylight conditions. Thus, it can be forward-looking to construct modular buildings in cold region, but how to realize the construction of modular buildings through human-machine coordination and remote operation is a significant issue. This article discusses the feasibility of robotic arm assembly design methods in the field of architecture by simulating the complete design and construction process of modular buildings. According to parameterized module design, a three-dimensional computer model is transformed into an electronic file that directs the action of the robotic arm to complete assembly via a custom processing program. This article details a theoretical and practical exploration of the construction of modular manipulators and has certain guiding significance for the intelligent design and construction of future buildings.
