ROBOTS ARE<br />
THE FUTURE OF<br />
CONSTRUCTION<br />
We have seen many robots<br />
integrated with laboratory<br />
machines and factory<br />
equipment, but we have<br />
just started seeing robots<br />
helping in the construction<br />
of our buildings. It doesn’t<br />
end there: there’s more<br />
with robots in the field of<br />
construction in the future.<br />
The future of construction<br />
lies in modern technology<br />
that will help in various<br />
aspects: drones to monitor<br />
site activities and robotic<br />
bulldozers to push soil<br />
without the human touch.<br />
Robots can also be used with<br />
off-site fabrication of the<br />
buildings’ elements by 3D<br />
printing them.<br />
Drones have become<br />
recently popular and their<br />
applications in construction<br />
sites are already realized. US<br />
start-up Skycatch uses drones<br />
on high-profile building<br />
projects, which provides a<br />
bird’s-eye view of a site to<br />
give progress reports, and<br />
speed up site logistics<br />
through delivery monitoring<br />
and real-time updates.<br />
