  • Abstract:
    A survey to evaluate the state-of-the-art development and employment of building robots was conducted worldwide among construction companies, universities, and other research organizations. The methodology of the survey and its results are presented. The analysis of the results yields a gloomy picture of the present level of on-site of robot employment. The reasons for this situation are identified as follows: (1) Existing robots are not well adapted to building construction. (2) There are problems associated with the conventionally designed building. (3) It is difficult to justify robot employment economically. (4) There are managerial barriers. Consequently, recommendations are offered for more efficient future implementation.
