“…While the robots are often controlled centrally, with movements or behaviors defined before their interactions with each other, other control strategies such as distributed control (113) and stigmergic processes (114) are promising for construction tasks. These strategies allow a robotic system composed of multiple machines to make decisions autonomously, based on the information they share or information from the environment, which makes the entire process more adaptable and robust to changes and unexpected results (115,116).…”

Over the past decades, robotics has shown great potential to impact the built environment, from automation to differentiation and efficient construction. However, construction processes are highly complex and require tackling a multitude of problems, from safety and robustness to ease of control and interactivity. For this reason, the field of construction robotics is still evolving, requiring finding solutions for new challenges every day. The present review analyzes the role of robotics in construction and architecture over time and highlights current trends in shifting from pure automation toward collaborative and adaptive processes that have the potential to fully integrate robotics into a rigid and challenging industry, such as construction. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems, Volume 14 is May 2023.

With the emergence of Industry 4.0, the use of robotic technologies is among today’s trends. The innovations that this revolution brought to robotic construction in the fields of communication, control, and software also improve flying robot technology. In the study, the place and importance of drone technology, which is one of the flying robot technologies at the intersection of Industry 4.0 and AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) industry, in architecture is defined. The research aims to analyze the digital fabrication studies with drone technology in the field of architecture by reviewing the literature and to reveal how these applications are followed. Studies with drones, which are the technology of the future, are presented by creating a timeline. Drone studies in the building and construction industry were classified according to drone type, gripper and software features and comparative analyses were made. As a result, it is desired to show the development of drone technology in architecture, examine how it is used, and create a reference study in the light of existing examples for its use in future applications.

“…The construction industry is a team-driven sector with human-to-human collaboration in construction trades; however, the collaboration has evolved into human and human collaboration, human-computer and human-machine collaboration. Han and Meggers [26] described the field of Collective Robotic Construction (CRC) as multi-robotic systems collectively modifying a shared…”

Over the last decade, the potential and prospects for using robotics for various construction activities have increased, particularly for dangerous work areas such as roof construction, construction in hazardous environments, and improving productivity while shielding construction workers from strenuous work and accidents. As there have been concerns about human factors in collaborating robotics with humans on construction worksites, ergonomics in human-robot teams’ research is critical to enhancing the advantages and adoption of collaborative robots in improving the productivity of construction workers and the competitiveness of construction organisations. This study reviews the emerging trends in human-robot teams and ergonomics in robotics, focusing on addressing the grey areas in human-robot teams’ body of knowledge. A systematic review of publications from similar industries with extensive studies on human-robot teams and factors applicable to the built environment were identified. The study summarises articles that have emerged over the last decade and highlights the emerging nature of robotics collaboration, ergonomic development and the interplay between robotics design and construction robotics ergonomics. Its outcome benefits AEC research and practice in building knowledge in construction human-robot collaboration, guiding practice and design in robotics by focusing on critical ergonomic issues.
