Architecture firms are beginning to experiment with the use of autonomous construction robots . The construction robot lacks the structure of industrial robots , where robotics have already been successfully deployed , and architecture depends on skills such as design and creativity , which can not be adopted easily by machines . Yet firms such as Boston ’s tech + partners are finding ways to use automation to integrate construction and architecture . For example , the company uses robots to help construct a curved building , which required a painstaking process of rotating and nailing hundreds of small boards , and would have taken a human worker significantly longer .
Architecture firms are starting to experiment with the use of autonomous construction robots. The construction industry lacks the structure of industrial facilities, where robotics have already been successfully deployed, and architecture depends on skills such as design and creativity, which cannot be adopted easily by machines. Yet firms such as Boston’s Perkins + Will are finding ways to use automation to enhance construction and architecture. For example, the company used robots to help construct a curved building, which required a painstaking process of rotating and nailing hundreds of small boards, and would have taken a human worker significantly longer.
