“…Many studies have identified CAR types and classified them, including Bademosi & Issa, Seyrfar et al, Delgado et al, and Bock (F. M. Bademosi & Issa, 2022;Bock, 2015;Davila Delgado et al, 2019;Seyrfar et al, 2022). The classification of CAR types for this study was conducted according to the categories compiled by Bademosi & Issa (F. M. Bademosi & Issa, 2022) as the main reference and complemented by other related studies.…”

“…Many studies over the last decade have demonstrated the need to adopt the latest technology to address construction problems and encourage CAR use (Seyrfar et al, 2022) to enhance productivity (F. M. Bademosi & Issa, 2022). However, its implementation in Indonesia encounters numerous challenges, especially costs and technology development for small and medium contractors (Soemardi et al, 2020).…”

“…Furthermore, productivity decline remains a major issue (F. M. Bademosi & Issa, 2022;Soemardi et al, 2020). Construction productivity has been lower in the last five decades than in any other industry (Seyrfar et al, 2022). Data from the Central Bureau of National Statistics (2007) in Soekiman et al (Soekiman et al, 2011) show dissatisfaction with construction productivity in Indonesia.…”

“…Several factors contributing to low construction productivity are poor management practices, unproductive time (Alwi, 2003), and declining equipment productivity (Salim & Sujana, 2020). For this reason, implementing sophisticated systems and equipment through automation and robotics will improve workplace safety and construction productivity in Indonesia (F. M. Bademosi & Issa, 2022;Seyrfar et al, 2022).…”

“…Construction Automation and Robotics (CAR) employs machines to carry out construction tasks automatically through computer programming (F. M. Bademosi & Issa, 2022). CAR is also a technology that applies robotic systems to construction (Seyrfar et al, 2022). According to Tafazzoli (Tafazzoli, 2022), CAR implementation can support sustainable development in several aspects.…”

Construction Automation and Robotics (CAR) is the anticipated technology to overcome productivity issues and work accidents, especially in developing countries. This research analyzes the implementation of CAR at Indonesian Construction SOEs from the perspective of real project implementation based on PLC, comparison with best practices, and potential uses, through the qualitative analysis of the literature as well as questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The results are compared qualitatively to obtain answers to the research objectives. This research identifies that seven Indonesian Construction SOEs have been using CAR technology, where Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drones), Virtual Reality (VR), and Prefabrication and Modularization are the most popular and mostly implemented in the construction phase. Compared to best practice, CAR implementation is still in the adoption stage. It has not reached its full potential through the development stage due to insufficient collaboration between contractors, technology companies, and universities. Although the construction market in Indonesia has not directly demanded CAR application, this technology is potentially considered to improve the completion of construction projects, especially the interaction prospect of Digital Twin (DT) and BIM. This study provides complete positional information on CARs type in the PLC in theory and practice as a benchmark for CAR research. This study fills the research gap and pioneering Indonesia’s CAR research in international journals and provides the latest and comprehensive overview of CAR implementation in Indonesia compared to best practices (USA and China).
