Abstract

The construction industry plays a pivotal role in global infrastructure development; however, it faces challenges related to efficiency, safety, and environmental impact. The advent of robotics and automation has opened new avenues for addressing these challenges through human-robot collaboration and sustainable automation. This research article explores the evolving trends in human-robot collaboration within the construction sector, focusing on the integration of advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, and sustainable practices. The article delves into case studies, technological advancements, and their impact on construction efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability. Through comprehensive analysis, this article sheds light on the potential benefits, challenges, and future directions of human-robot collaboration and sustainable automation in the construction industry.
