Abstract:
This paper aims to investigate the potentials and constraints of employing robots in construction in Egypt, In order to treat the shortage of current technologies. Egypt suffers from many issues in the construction sector, such as lack of skilled labour, poor quality, and productivity. Those issues lead to increase project time, total costs, amount of waste in materials, and rate of accidents. Current development projects cannot be achieved with the previous issues and use of traditional technology. Therefore, the automation technologies in construction have to be examined to determine the advantages and disadvantages of their application and the ability of robotics technology in the construction sector in Egypt to achieve the development projects. Its advantages are summarized in saving time, reducing cost, increasing productivity, quality, and working in different environmental conditions. Capital cost is one of the disadvantages of that technology. a SWOT i.e. (the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis had been used, the analysis indicates that the application of this technology will increase productivity, at lower cost, higher quality, and accuracy. in addition to preserving lives and materials. Some challenges revolving around the capital cost of technology and the future of employment.
