Can robots help automate the task of inspection and data collection of construction activities?
Robots have the potential to automate the task of inspecting and ensuring time bound completion of construction. Inspecting construction can be a difficult task as sites have difficult terrain to navigate, high risk factor, they are dusty and lack manpower. As robots are immune to these conditions, they can be deployed to aid in this task of routinely inspecting and collecting data of level of completion. Robots can inform construction managers with data from on site activities that can help them take cognisance and act better.
