| Abstract |
Robots are starting to appear on construction sites and are expected to increasingly replace or complement human workers for strenuous, hazardous or repetitive tasks. This collection of articles on robots in the construction sector presents several examples and case studies including: replacing drilling bits on tunnel boring machines, drones for the inspection of power line pylons, the placing of fire-resistant panels in tunnels. |
