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 />
