Automated bricklaying robots have been designed and developed to lay the bricks in construction site swiftly and precisely. These inventive brick layers can work endlessly without getting tired and their work is quick & error-free. Robots are seamlessly enhancing the construction by analyzing the site of construction, computing the finest position of bricks and simultaneously they adjust their body movements in order to align the bricks properly. It reduces the requirement for manual workers and increase productivity by handling the intricate patterns & variations of bricks. Nowadays, construction companies are using the bricklaying robots to achieve maximum efficiency and precision in projects.PaceRobotics, an ingenious robotics company based in Bangalore, incubated by SINE-IIT Bombay & backed by Pidilite Industries to design and deploy construction robots for building projects with real estate builders & contractors. Currently they are building Modular Wall Finishing Robot for automated wall finishing tasks like brick layering, plastering, putty and painting.Drones for Surveying & Inspections: The dawn of Robotic drones inspection on construction site is making a momentous shift in the way builders & industries carrying out inspection in their operations. They quickly map the construction site and identify potential issues and monitor the progress.They are equipped with high resolution cameras and sensors to survey construction sites & inspect the structures. Drones capture aerial images and collect data to supply valuable insights for planning, monitoring & quality control of projects.These robotic drones enables more rapid and precise data collection that reduces the time & cost connected with conventional surveying methods in construction. Moreover, drones can also access the hard-to-reach spots and improve security & protection by lessening the need for workers to examine risky locations physically. On the whole, with advent of technological fiction, drones are transforming the mode of surveying and inspections in the construction industry.According to Alok Bansal, Managing Director & Country Head, Visionet India "The adoption of automation is the future of every industry, large and small businesses, to increase efficiency, reduce costs and save time in an error-free process".Automated Construction Equipment: Whereas the scope of automation in construction industry is quiet broad, businesses are opting the ways for automating the dangerous tasks in the construction site. The tasks in construction industry are typically repetitive, physical, precise, manual and time consuming. Therefore, robots are used to operate the heavy construction machinery & equipment namely excavators & cranes. This automated robotics on site can perform the complicated construction tasks with correctness and accurateness which gradually reduces the scenario of reliance on manual labours. For instance, Robotic cranes, excavators & bulldozers are programmed to carry the heavy machineries and complete specific tasks. By leveraging the automated robotic construction equipment, companies & businesses can enhance the overall productivity and eliminate the human error on construction sites.A prominent construction company in India, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is embracing the realm of automated robotics in its operations. They have exploited the technology of robotics to enhance the productivity and to reduce the time consumption such as concrete spraying, material handling & operating.Robotic Exoskeletons: Construction industry is known for hazardous risks and having high chances of injuries. By facilitating the workers to bear the heavy
