How Autonomous Robots Are Changing Construction

  • There's a lot of buzz around self-driving cars, but autonomous-driving technology could revolutionize a different industry first - construction. That industry hasn’t changed much over the last several decades, according to some experts, making it an ideal candidate for automation.
    “The way we build today is largely unchanged from the way we used to build 50 years ago,” said Gaurav Kikani, vice president of Built Robotics. “Within two years, I think we’re really going to turn the corner, and you’re going to see an explosion of robotics being used on construction sites.”
    The industry is also faced with a labor shortage that the Covid-19 pandemic has further complicated.
    “Covid is making people step back and say, ‘hey, the way we’ve been doing things for a long time is just not sustainable,’” said Kevin Albert, founder and CEO of Canvas. “It is just a wake-up call for the industry.”
    Canvas is one of several companies working on autonomous construction technology. Big players like Caterpillar and Komatsu, and start-ups like SafeAI and Built Robotics, see value in using autonomous machines to accelerate construction projects.
    The mining industry was one of the first to employ the use of self-driving tech. Caterpillar began its first autonomy program more than 30 years ago. The company now has the largest fleet of autonomous haul trucks. Caterpillar says it’s hauled 2 billion metric tons in just over six years.
    Built Robotics is a San Francisco-based start-up founded by an ex-Google engineer that already has machinery out in the field. It’s automated several pieces of equipment, such as bulldozers and excavators.
    “You can now collapse your construction timeline so you can knock out work overnight so that it’s ready for your human workers in the morning to speed them along,” Kikani said.
    SafeAI is another Silicon Valley start-up. It recently teamed up with Obayashi for a pilot program. It’s been retrofitting equipment like dump trucks, bulldozers and loaders.
    Robots are also helping inside. San Francisco-based Canvas created an autonomous machine for finishing drywall and has worked on projects like the San Francisco International Airport and Chase Arena. Humans work alongside its robotic system.
    “Drywall is very hard work on the body,” Albert said. “And we’ve seen that 1 out of every 4 workers has to end their career early because of injuries. This will create longer careers for people and also enable people to join the trades that haven’t had access before.”
    The construction industry is one of the largest sectors in the global economy, with about $10 trillion spent each year. That spending accounts for 13% of the world’s GDP, even though the sector’s annual productivity growth has only increased 1% over the past 20 years. According to McKinsey & Co., $1.6 trillion of additional value could be created through higher productivity, and autonomy would help the industry achieve that.

      this isn't unfolding anything. Some automated excavators that have been around for 7 years according to the video, and yet they're still yet to see mass use. And they don't even do the job necessarily better or cheaper than humans. Yang's ideas on automation, even though they were well-meaning, were way over-exaggerated. His talk about manufacturing jobs being "automated away" doesn't stand up to an examination of the facts or even common sense. If it were all automated away, we wouldn't be running a massive trade deficit with countries with low wages (afterall, it's all "automated", right?). This talk about automation has been ongoing for years and years and years, and the pace has not drastically changed.

    If you've been in the construction industry as one of the operator like myself of such heavy machineries you know it'll be a long shot still before we see these autonomous technology taking over, those equipment still needs human intervention. To fellow operators around maybe its time to move forward and take notice of these autonomous tech, learn about it and figure how to still be part of the construction industry. Technological advancement is good overall, but theres gonna be those that gonna left out of the only job that they enjoy/like/passionate about if they don't move forward.

      Agree. The biggest issue is the disconnect between these programmers and tech people with the skilled tradesmen. They will never see eye to eye and won't understand the fact ls of each side. Those machines picking up 1/4 buckets in 4 seconds will never become more efficient then a human picking up full buckets in a second. AI has a long way to go in 70% of this industry. Haul trucks, scrapers, dozers will be the first to automate but will need heavy assistance of human operators getting most of it prepared doe the robots.
      GPS assisted equipment is the present and future but too many of the operators are old timers that refuse to give it the chance.

Ppl's skill is irrelevant, they will find a way to replicate human efforts over time (and with the help of human operators no less).

Automation won't solve any permitting issues and having machines capable of working at night won't be of any help if there are local regulations in place which restrict it anyway because of noise constraints.

    Be something else then. There are so many different things you could be in this world. And some of them are done more efficiently and safely by autonomous systems. We went from carrying all produce ourselves, to putting it on a horse and cart, to 18 wheelers, and maybe soon to autonomous vehicles. Things move on, new jobs will be created.

    No question it will be common. Locations like mining, farming and road repair, where the public does not have access. Inclosed or restricted location are perfect for running automated machines. Automation will definitely change the labour landscape, let's prepare for this, so young adults finishing high school are ready and have the skills of the future.

    "Technological innovation" - a modern way of saying: "You'll lose your job soon". Why is everyone so hooked up on these so called "technological advances" ????. Those managers or owners of yours just dream of the day they can operate without you in the company. I suggest we introduce a tax system that would tax machinery same way it taxes humans, and actually taxes more so that preference is given to humans. Otherwise everyone will end up in McDonalds type of job or even jobless. Humans are really dumb.

      It's because the construction sector has serious shortcomings that affect productivity, even as the rate of construction is skyrocketing.
      Projects frequently go over budget, too, and a lot of the work in the sector is harmful to the point that a quarter of construction workers quit the sector early just because of injuries.

    I can certainly see the advantage of having an automated excavator or compactor on my site, but if it takes me longer to program the thing than just digging it myself, what's the point? Plus, many times the operator jobs provide something for the old guys to do. If it wasn't for machine operation they wouldn't have anything to do because their bodies can't handle the real work. Exoskeleton is a good idea. If I can lift heavier weight and hold it above my head without help that would be huge.
