Technology: Potential demand for industrial robots to improve productivity

The drones are remotely controlled with aerial capabilities that provide real-life updates of a construction project, revolutionizing the project's life cycle without using human laborers. Humanoid laborers refer to robots or robotic systems designed with a humanoid appearance and characteristics, intending to complete duties traditionally carried out by human laborers. Industrial robots such as articulated, cartesian, and collaborative robots are widely used on construction sites. Articulated robots are automated machines with joints resembling the human arm used in welding, assembling, sealing, material handling, picking, cutting, painting, and spraying in construction manufacturing. Furthermore, self-driving construction vehicles are versatile and can perform leveling the ground, pushing heavy objects, foundation excavation, trenching, and truck loading jobs. Autonomous construction vehicles can provide a safer job site by reducing construction equipment operators' accidents.

Automation: Proliferating utilization of fully autonomous construction robots

Construction robots are automated machines designed to assist with various tasks on construction sites. Most autonomous dozers, excavators, load carriers, and haul trucks that can be used for excavating and grading soil on construction sites are semi-autonomous machines. The semi-autonomous construction robot market includes machinery and systems that still require a certain level of human control or supervision. This technology acts as an intermediary step towards full autonomy, providing enhancements such as remote control, guided systems, and collaborative robots (cobots) that work alongside human counterparts. In contrast, fully autonomous robots are intelligent smart machines that can independently perform tasks and operate in an environment without human control or intervention. Fully autonomous robots can perform various tasks without human intervention, including but not limited to bricklaying, concrete dispensing, structural assembly, and inspection.

Function: Significant adoption of 3D printing robots to produce complex components and structures

3D printing robots typically refer to robotic systems equipped with additive manufacturing technology, commonly known as 3D printing. These robots are designed to autonomously or semi-autonomously build three-dimensional objects layer by layer using various materials. Bricklaying robots automate the construction of brick, block, and mortar homes by measuring and tracking velocity, GPS, safety, slump, and mortar quality in the construction sector. These bricklaying robots manage the automatic loading, cutting, routing, and placement of bricks and use CAD to complete end-to-end bricklaying. Demolition robots are employed in the construction industry to demolish buildings that leverage various end-of-arm tools such as breakers, crushers, drills, or buckets to break building materials. Deploying construction robots in demolition activities allows humans to remain secure and avoid the risks of causing injuries. Moreover, welding robots are a highly advanced version of automated welding, in which machines conduct the welding, and robotic technology allows for precise and quick results, less waste, and more excellent safety in the construction process.

Application: High utilization of construction robots in commercial buildings construction

Robots are widely used in applications of commercial buildings, public infrastructure, and residential buildings to take on dangerous tasks and replace humans in hazardous situations and unsanitary environments. Construction robots are increasingly used in commercial building projects to enhance efficiency, safety, and quality. They can perform repetitive tasks such as bricklaying, concrete dispensing, and drywall installation, which speeds up the construction process and minimizes human error. Robots have a significant role in developing and maintaining public infrastructure, such as bridges, roads, and tunnels. They assist in dangerous or challenging tasks for humans, such as welding in high-risk environments or operating at heights. In the residential sector, construction robots streamline the building process in multiple facets, from laying foundations to installing roofs. They contribute to the prefabrication of home components, which are then assembled on-site, reducing construction waste and improving precision.
