The Use of Robotics in Prefabricated Construction: Advantages and Challenges
The construction industry is evolving with the integration of robotics, especially in prefabricated construction. Prefabrication, which involves manufacturing building components off-site in a controlled environment and later assembling them on-site, is increasingly popular due to its efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness. Robotics enhances these benefits, improving production, transportation, and assembly while reducing environmental impact. This article explores the technical integration, advantages, challenges, and impact of robotics in prefabricated construction. Technical Integration Robotics is incorporated into various stages of the prefabrication process, automating tasks from manufacturing to on-site assembly. These systems rely on digital models, such as Computer-Aided
