This article describes a number of robots used in the Swedish construction industry. The robot concept is considered in a broad sense. Present robots are used for tunnel drilling, demolishing concrete, load carrying, concrete grinding and floor cleaning. There are not many robots at present in the Swedish construction industry depending primarily upon a small market, variable sites and changeable weather conditions. Some Swedish research reports have been published, and research programs have been undertaken.
