Automation of construction sites, especially those that involve repetitive tasks, could significantly improve productivity while creating a safer work environment and helping to address the industry’s shortfall in labour. However, the complexity of construction tasks limits the adoption of robotic technology. Nonetheless, automation is expected to be feasible for individual tasks at construction sites within the coming 10 to 20 years. Autonomous rovers that can increase the efficiency and quality of site inspections to a mechanical arm that can automate repetitive tasks such as bricklaying are gaining traction.
