Business Insider: Drones in Construction: How Robots are Changing the Way We Build

While basic tasks in construction still need human involvement to ensure safety and quality, advanced robots are beginning to offset dangerous work that people have traditionally done. When humans are removed from the construction field, sites become safer, and workers can complete jobs more quickly due to the ability of robots to work around the clock. However, drones in construction equipment aren’t just about replacing people with robots; it’s also about improving productivity through automation and streamlining the construction process through better use of data. Construction robots can accomplish any number of functions on a construction site. This versatility should be of little surprise, as field robotics are used in agriculture, mining, utilities, and public safety contexts.
