DECEMBER 2023CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM6The construction industry is undergoing a transformative shift with the integration of advanced robotics, propelling traditional practices into a new era of efficiency, safety, and innovation. The implementation of robotics in construction, particularly in masonry, is redefining the landscape of building and design, offering a glimpse into the future of construction.Robots like the Semi-Automated Mason (SAM) and the Automated Brick Laying Robot (ABLR) exemplify this trend. They leverage building information modeling (BIM) data to accurately place bricks, achieving speeds and precision far beyond human capabilities. Beyond bricklaying, construction robots can perform diverse tasks like demolition, excavation, welding, and material handling.Artificial Intelligence (AI) in construction robots is also bringing a new level of adaptability and precision, allowing robots to learn and adjust to different scenarios. The integration of AI enhances the capabilities of robots, enabling them to execute complex tasks with higher efficiency. Moreover, the intersection of robotics with 3D printing technology is opening up new possibilities for creating intricate architectural designs, further expanding the potential of robotic applications in masonry construction.This edition of Construction Business Review brings insights into the latest developments in masonry construction services and how construction companies and contractors align with the latest trends for stronger, sustainable, and more aesthetically pleasing structures.It features a thought leadership article from Erwin Wong, DC Project/Design Manager at Royal HaskoningDHV, who illuminates the role of project management in construction.
