Robotics in the Construction Sector: Trends, Advances, and Challenges

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Construction robots employ cutting-edge technology to perform tasks more accurately than traditional construction workers, producing higher-quality results and fewer mistakes. Moreover, although construction robotics is a demanding topic in construction sector research, more review studies that track and anticipate adoption trends are required in the construction sector. This study aims to bridge this gap by identifying the adoption challenges and limitations of construction robots and the opportunities offered to the construction sector. To achieve this aim, the study adopts a systematic literature review approach using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) protocol. Additionally, the systematic literature review focuses on the framework for categorizing technological advances and potential trends in development over the past decade. The review results reveal that: (a) current robotic technology covered four critical perspectives including perception, mobility, manipulation, and collaboration; (b) promoting the sector requires attention to safety and ethical issues because of the risks associated.
