The Cutting Edge in North America

Automation and robotic applications for use in the North American construction industry are currently under development at numerous university and industry laboratories. A number of these applications have been tested under simulated or actual jobsite conditions; some have provided enough information to determine technical success or economic feasibility of the technology. Further development of robotics applications for the construction industry will be achieved by a combination of university research and development and jobsite experimentation in the private and government sectors.
