Robotics is one of the advanced technologies that is used in various aspects of the construction industry to improve the efficiency and the performance of construction projects. The adoption of construction robotics technologies is significant strategies to maintain and improve productivity in the construction industry. Even though the implementation of construction robotics technologies can improve productivity, many Malaysian contractors do not embrace the existence of robotic technology and still practicing the traditional method due to many challenges. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to investigate the challenges of the implementation of construction robotics technologies in the Malaysian construction industry and the improvement method. The data of the research were achieved through a quantitative method, which questionnaires were distributed to 180 G7 contractors in Kuala Lumpur. Subsequently, 50 valid responses were retrieved and the collected data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The findings revealed that the two (2) main challenges of the implementation of construction robotics in Malaysia were the high cost to maintain and update process the technologies. The finding also showed that strategic partnership with a high technology company was the best method to improve robotics implementation. In conclusion, this study is believed to be useful information in improving the implementation of robotics technologies in construction projects particularly around Klang Valley.

“…Second, robots can free workers from hazardous working environments and reduce the chances of injuries and fatalities [6]. In addition, replacing human workers with robots for some tasks can reduce occupational musculoskeletal disorders [7] and the cost that is invested in fall protection structures, personal protective equipment, and management teams [8]. Third, using robots can address the shortage of labor forces [9].…”

Keywords human-robot collaboration (HRC) robotics innovation adaption taxonomyThe construction industry is a typical labor-intensive industry, which suffers from low productivity and labor shortage in the past decades. Recently, the developments in robotics and artificial intelligence technologies highlight the evolutionary reforming potential in the construction industry. An increasing number of robots are joining construction tasks and collaborating with human workers. This study reviews the major developments in intelligent robots and human-robot collaboration (HRC) in the construction industry. The technological foundations and fundamental concepts of construction robots and collaborative robots are reviewed, organized, and discussed to reveal that progress has been made. Based on a comprehensive review, the major challenges and future research directions of HRC have been proposed and examined. This study finally developed a comprehensive and in-depth discussion of the state-ofthe-art implementation of robotics technologies in the construction industry and shed light on its path to future development.

“…This is due to the nature of the construction projects that provide little room for efficiency from scaling productions, the sporadic arrival of work, high costs and high risk because of the high level of uncertainty, and the need for transiency of skilled labor [4]. Robotic technology has been considered a potential alternative to tackle ongoing issues with construction projects in the industry [5]. As with other industries where smart manufacturing and artificial intelligence methods have been successfully applied, the construction industry can benefit from these advances across the board, including all aspects of project planning, monitoring, coordination, and control, as well as safety diagnosis and quality control [6].…”
