Abstract
Incorporating technology into construction projects is highly important to achieve success. One of the critical technologies is robotics, but it faces significant barriers in terms of implementing it in the construction sector. Existing research focuses on the benefits of robotics in construction, but little is known about the barriers that the industry is unable to overcome. Besides this, there is no known study that simultaneously focuses on overcoming the barriers and their impact on success in construction projects. This research was aimed at evaluating the barriers faced in the implementation of robotics in construction and determining their impact on success. A quantitative research design was followed, starting with the identification of possible challenges from the literature, performing the pilot survey, conducting the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and performing structural equation modeling (SEM). The results produced a structural model involving barriers and their relation to construction success with a significant positive relation value of B= 0.87. Positive implications are formulated in relation to managerial and theoretical expectations of future robotics implementation in construction projects.
