Construction robotics present implementation and prospects

The purpose of this Bachelor’s thesis was to find out the latest development of construction robotics, its implementation and usage, to analyse the data and to conclude its prospects. The research part of the thesis includes the author’s ideas on robotics, which could be used for façade renovation works, based on his work experience. At first, in order to justify present development of construction robotics, several models from several countries were described. Available technical data, method of usage, efficiency and prices were collected from official web-sites of manufacturers. Practices of its application, as well as possible drawbacks, were highlighted from various videos which are available on the net. The practical part is based on the author’s proposal on robotics implementation for the given façade renovation project. A beneficial renovation method for the contractor was estimated by a comparative costs analysis of manual labour with robotics usage. The third part of the thesis discusses the prospects of construction robots. It contains personal reflection based on a deductive analysis on demands of the construction industry and the results obtained from scientific literature. The results of the thesis are justification on usage of construction robotics from an economical point of view, comparative analysis of manpower efficiency with robotics on repetitive construction tasks
