Assessing Construction Automation and Robotics in the Sustainability Sense.

Building growth technology is rapidly recognized globally as a key aspect in the future of construction projects. However, construction robotics and automation (CRA) have yet to undergo significant reality deployment. The latest substantial sustainability requirement is the necessary cause for the more extensive implementation of construction robotics and automation. Nevertheless, there are small attempts at a detailed investigation of the effect of using construction robotics and automation on the sustainability efficiency of buildings and construction. Still, structured advice for the building industry is lacking in this sense. The study in this paper represents the first step towards addressing by analyzing and examining the construction robotics and automation techniques and available innovations and, for the first time, creating a coherent system of metrics for measuring the sustainability efficiency of construction robotics and automation usage in buildings. The ultimate objective of the study must therefore be the creation of a rigorous and consistent methodology for evaluating, within this framework, the feasibility of construction robotics and automation in the construction projects context.
