The construction industry undergoes a radical transformation through emerging robotictechnologies which include robotic bricklaying and 3D printing and robotic welding. Theconstruction activities undergo transformation through these technologies which boostproductivity and safety standards while reducing material waste and enhancing precision. Thispaper examines the technological advancements of these systems and their deployment onconstruction sites and their effects on project results including time, cost, quality and healthand safety. The analysis through case study and comparison demonstrates how automationaffects workforce participation and project duration and sustainability targets while showingthe extensive transformation caused by automation. The paper demonstrates how roboticsunite with digital technologies including BIM and IoT to establish Construction 4.0 which willdevelop an efficient agile resilient construction industry based on data. The research identifiesthe need for proactive adaptation strategies to achieve full technology realization because itrecognizes construction as a human-machine collaboration.
