Automation and Robotics in the Construction Industry

Automation in construction refers to the use of technology to perform tasks that are traditionally done by humans, enhancing efficiency, precision and safety. Robotics involves the use of programmable machines designed to carry out specific tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously. In construction industry, automation and robotics are revolutionizing processes through applications such as robotics bricklaying, 3D printing of structures, autonomous vehicles for the site inspection, and drones for surveying. These technologies enhance productivity by reducing labor costs, speeding up project timelines and minimizing human error. There has been rapid progress in this field and its applications are finding their way across multiple industries. Such selected concepts that redefine automation and robotics in the construction industry have been presented in this book. It aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area.
