Abstract

Industrial robots can be used for performance of various building construction activities such as assembling of components and various interior and exterior finishing activities, given some further development in their manipulation, sensing and locomotion capacities. The economic feasibility of construction robots depends on costs and benefits associated with their application. The costs include general development, direct investment, set up, maintenance and operation. They also include the necessary adaptations of work process to robots employment. The benefits include saving of labor replaced by robots, higher quality of product and eliminating or reducing of human involvement in hazardous and strainful building tasks, and work under harsh ambient conditions. A preliminary feasibility study reveals that at sufficient employment level and appropriate restructuring of working environment, robots could be feasibly employed in performance of many building construction tasks.
