2IMPACT OF ROBOTICS ON THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Part 1: Research
The notable determination of the proposal is to focus on the impact of robotics in the
construction industry.
Robotics Technology: It can be defined as the type of technology which are increasingly
used in numerous industries such as the manufacturing industry, Information Technology,
construction industry and healthcare industry. Most the design and operation room of these
industries can also be optimised using the robotics industry. Most of the business processes of
these industries such as the sales and marketing departments, strategic decision and the business
decisions can be optimised using the robotics industry. The control systems of these industries
and customer engagement can be successfully enhanced using robotics technology. This
technology can be successfully used in most of the defensive operations. Mechanical and civil
constructions can be successfully done using robotic technology. This technology can
successfully substitute and replicate most of the human actions which are usually done in the
manufacturing. Electrical components of the construction industry such as the management of
the resources and scheduling of the project can be done successfully using the robotics
technology.
Construction Industry: It can be defined as the type of industry where an entire building
and infrastructure is built. Construction industry involves numerous stakeholders associated with
them, the project managers, floor managers, workers and the project planner are the internal
stakeholders associated with this industry. There are different categories of the construction
industry in terms of the buildings, infrastructure issue and industrial industry.

3IMPACT OF ROBOTICS ON THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
The external stakeholder of the construction industry are mainly the providers of the raw
materials and other service providers. Most of the large scale as well as the small scale
construction industry uses numerous technologies in their working environment such as the
Block Chain technology, Artificial Intelligence and robotics technology. The role of the project
manager and the floor manager are very much important to manage most of the operations of the
construction industry. The environmental impact, designing, collaboration issues,
communication issues of the construction industry are maintained using the robotics technology.
Part 2: Brainstorming
 There are different categories of robotics which are extensively used in the construction
industry such as the construction robots which is a completely automated system.
 Robotics technology can be successfully used in different types of industries such as the
manufacturing industry, healthcare industry, hospitality industry, insurance industry.
 Other technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain technology can be
successfully incorporated with the robots industry.
Part 3: Regulation and Ethics
The growth and productivity of the construction industry can be improved using robotics
technology. The factors which can make this happen considering Lawrence Lessig’s regulation
are discussed below.
 Law: Most of the regular industrial regulations of the construction industry can also be
improved using robotics technology.

4IMPACT OF ROBOTICS ON THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
 Norms: The service offered by the construction industry can be successfully enhanced
using robotics technology.
 Market: This automated technology can help this construction industry to understand the
strategies taken by the other similar organizations.
 Architecture: Packing building and the manufacturing abilities of the construction
industry can be successfully planned ad monitored using the robotics technology.
Part 4: Disruption
Processes Description
Events Each of the components of the construction industry such as the
management of the foundations, plinth and damp proof course and plinth
beam can be successfully managed using the robotics industry.
Activities Each of the components of the construction industry such as the walls,
roofs, slabs, meshes, zones and curtain walls can also be managed using
the robotics technology.
Decision
points
The decision points of the construction industry such as the fire
resistances, non-combustible, ordinary, heavy timber and wood framed.
Actors Most of the actors of the external as well as the internal stakeholders of
this organization can also be managed using the construction.
Outcomes The structural components of the construction industry can be significant
improved during robotics technology.

Description of the process
Most of the event processes of the construction industry can also be improved using the
robotics industry. Load bearing capacity, foundation issues, footings, and complexity of the
beams can also be improved using robotic technology. The proprietary, prescription and the
performance of the stakeholder can also be improved using the robotics technology. The fire

resistance ability of the construction industry can also be improved using robotics technology.
The robotics technology can be very much beneficial useful to manage each of the components
of the construction industry such as the construction of the workers, mason, plumber, wekder,
glazer and plasterer. Floor trussels, as well as the wall cones, can be categorized into using the
robotics technology. The internal composts of the robotics technology are used as an altered
workforce which can provide as an added advantage over the other similar construction industry.
The business predictions of the construction industry are now done in a more organised fashion.
The robotics technology can be very much important to deal with the implementation prices of
lean construction practices. The efficiency and productivity of the construction industry can also
be maintained with the use of the construction.
Components would be affected by the change
The service maintained by the construction industry can be successfully maintained done
business robots. The other technologies which are increasingly used in the construction industry
such as big data technologies and artificial intelligence.
Demolition of the buildings and other constructions such as bridges and metro stations is
done in a more efficient manner using the demolition capabilities of the business robots.
Breakdown of the walls can also be done in an efficient way using business robots. The brick
layering of the construction can also be done using robotics technology. The additional
craftsmanship activities of the construction industry are modified using robotics technology as
well. The role of collaborative robots is much important during meeting sessions and
construction practices. All the work-related activities of the construction can be hugely optimised
using robotics technology. Repeatable task can be done in an organized manner using robotics

technology. The other essential component which will be affected by the change is the custom
development feature of the construction industry. The incorporation of the robotics technology
can also enhance the other technologies used in this industry, such as wearable technologies.
Augmentation and logistics management in the construction industry. Change management of
the construction industry is also improving each day due to the extensive development of
business robots and other robotic technologies.
