%X This paper discusses the configuration of a semi-automated robotic tiling system for floor-tile installation of residential and commercial buildings. The research is motivated by the need to reduce the human fatigue, installation time, cost and while maintaining consistent quality. The technical solution that is deemed feasible and capable of addressing the above mentioned issues is an electrically-powered semi-automated robotic system with omni-directional locomotive capability. The design parameters and system performance are discussed. © 2011 IEEE.
