Robotic Worker in Construction Industry

Abstract

During the period when the COVID-19 occurred, China built two hospitals, "Huoshenshan" and "Leishenshan", in a short time, which created a miracle in the construction industry. For this miracle, construction robots are an indispensable part, which also has drawn attention from academic and technical circles to the construction industry. Construction robots have experienced more than one hundred years of development, and have experienced two generations regarding mechanical transmission and hydraulic pressure. The now robotized construction machinery is called the third generation, which is a milestone in the development of construction machinery. It can be controlled remotely, automatically and semi-automatically, and can perform a variety of operations, in which natural operation is the primary feature. With the development of robot technology, highly reliable and efficient construction robots have entered the market and have broad development and application prospects.

“…Additionally, holes can be drilled in the wall or floor. [42] One of the benefits of drilling robot, that the predrilling reduces the worker's risk of injury and worker's shoulder strain, due to simplifying the installation work. In addition to benefits within reducing noise, dust and clean workplaces.…”
