Robotics in the Construction Industry

Abstract

This paper will investigate and discuss the principles of robotics, including robot movements and components, and how these principles can be used in the construction industry. Actual robotic applications in the construction industry will be examined and discussed, as will potential uses and applications. In this context, emphasis will be placed on those robotic applications in building construction, with passing reference made to other forms of construction robots. The social impact and economic considerations of implementing robotics technology in the construction industry will be discussed. It should be noted that most of the information concerning robots and robotics concerns applications in the manufacturing industries. This is of little concern, however, because these same principles may also be applied to the construction industry.
