CTBUH Survey: Robotics in Construction

In many industries, robots have replaced human workers to perform a multitude of tasks. The benefits of using robots include increased precision, speed, and reliability, leading to savings in project costs, speed, safety, and labor. The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) is undertaking significant research into the application of robotics in tall building construction, including the most relevant developments in robotics happening now, and technologies that will be developed in the near future. This project is made possible by funding and support from Schindler.

CTBUH is currently conducting a survey to explore the use and perception of robotics in tall building construction. We are interested in knowing the varying opinions of different stakeholders involved in this sector.

A multidisciplinary group will audit, classify, and disseminate the results, which will be contained in a publication developed by the CTBUH research team. The final report will include interviews with experts in the field, so we look forward to potentially discussing these topics with you further. This questionnaire should only take 15 minutes. We appreciate you taking the time to share your valuable insights with us.

Ongoing research focused on the field of construction robotics has resulted in the publication being organized around two differentiated main tracks: robotization of traditional construction procedures, including the replacement of human operators with automation; and digital fabrication technologies, consisting of on-site processes such as additive manufacturing and 3D printing. The questionnaire is similarly organized around the topics of these two tracks.

Space Cell	More Probable	Less Probable
Robotization of traditional procedures (e.g. total automation, use of exoskeletons and other wearable devices, etc.)	Robotization of traditional procedures (e.g. total automation, use of exoskeletons and other wearable devices, etc.): More Probable	Robotization of traditional procedures (e.g. total automation, use of exoskeletons and other wearable devices, etc.): Less Probable
