Abstract
Construction robotics is transforming the building industry by introducing innovative technologies that enhance productivity, improve safety, and reduce project timelines. Traditional construction practices, often labor-intensive and time-consuming, face challenges such as labor shortages, cost overruns, and safety concerns. Robotics, including autonomous machines, drones, and 3D printing systems, address these issues by automating tasks like bricklaying, concrete pouring, and material transportation. These advancements not only improve efficiency but also ensure precision and quality in construction processes. Moreover, construction robotics supports sustainable practices by optimizing material usage and reducing waste. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into robotic systems further allows real-time data analysis, predictive maintenance, and adaptive decisionmaking, reshaping the construction landscape. Despite challenges such as high initial costs and the need for skilled operators, the adoption of construction robotics is expected to grow, driven by advancements in technology and increasing demand for smart, sustainable, and cost-effective construction solutions. This paper explores the current state, benefits, challenges, and future trends in construction robotics, highlighting its pivotal role in revolutionizing the building industry. The construction industry, historically reliant on manual labor and traditional methods, is undergoing a transformative shift driven by advancements in construction robotics. This revolution is reshaping how structures are designed, built, and maintained, offering solutions to challenges such as labor shortages, safety risks, and inefficiencies. Construction robots, ranging from brick-laying and welding robots to autonomous excavation and inspection drones, are enabling faster, more precise and cost-effective building processes. Coupled with innovations in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, these robotic systems integrate seamlessly into modern construction workflows. This paper explores the role of robotics in enhancing productivity, sustainability, and safety while addressing the technological, economic, and regulatory barriers to widespread adoption. The discussion highlights key advancements, case studies, and future trends, emphasizing the potential of construction robotics to redefine the building industry.
