Are Robots Rewriting The Rules Of Construction?

Are Robots Rewriting The Rules Of Construction?

The adoption of new technologies like automation and robotics is necessary to enhance the safety of construction worksites

Construction is inherently a risky business. Complex projects often involve half-built structures, heavy machinery, fluctuating weather conditions, and the coordination of large work crews, making the element of risk unavoidable. While many occupations have become less risky, construction work has become more dangerous. Between 2011 and 2019, construction worker deaths increased by 41%, with the trend continuing upward.

Companies in a fast-paced global construction industry see that a business-as-usual approach could be more effective. Ensuring safety on construction sites requires a […]
