Automation in construction is the combination of methods, processes, and systems that allow for greater machine autonomy in construction activities. Construction automation may have multiple goals, including but not limited to, reducing jobsite injuries, decreasing activity completion times, and assisting with quality control and quality assurance.

A self-driving Uber car accident in 2018 is an example of autonomous vehicle accidents that are also listed among self-driving car fatalities. A report made by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) showed that the self-driving Uber car was unable to identify the victim in a sufficient amount of time for the vehicle to slow down and ...
A self-driving car, also known as a autonomous car (AC), driverless car, robotaxi, robotic car or robo-car, [1] [2] [3] is a car that is capable of operating with reduced or no human input. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Self-driving cars are responsible for all driving activities, such as perceiving the environment, monitoring important systems, and controlling ...
Beyond the hype of Generative AI. While Waymo has pulled ahead of the self-driving competition for the time being, autonomous cars are still very much a work-in-progress. Rivals from GM, Amazon ...
The ASSCM is a civilian unmanned ground vehicle developed in Yuzuncu Yil University via a grant from TUBITAK (Project code 110M396). [47] The vehicle is a low-cost small scale construction machine that can grade soft soil. The machine is capable of autonomous grading within a polygon once the polygon border is defined.
An automated guided vehicle (AGV), different from an autonomous mobile robot (AMR), is a portable robot that follows along marked long lines or wires on the floor, or uses radio waves, vision cameras, magnets, or lasers for navigation. They are most often used in industrial applications to transport heavy materials around a large industrial ...
Construction robots are a subset of industrial robots used for building and infrastructure construction at site. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Despite being traditionally slow to adopt new technologies, 55% of construction companies in the United States, Europe, and China now say they use robots on job sites. [ 3 ]
An autonomous building is a building designed to be operated independently from infrastructural support services such as the electric power grid, gas grid, municipal water systems, sewage treatment systems, storm drains, communication services, and in some cases, public roads.
