# 11 The robots are here
Robots are not just coming. They are already
here. From TyBot which can tie steel reinforcement into position on bridges, to
the road marking wizard Little Erik, and robotic hot wire cutters that can
create bespoke formwork in minutes, robots are able to transform the way that
infrastructure and buildings are constructed. From accelerating work flows, to
making sites safer, the implications for the built environment are vast. But
there are many challenges too. Investment costs are simply too high for some of
the smaller companies who deliver work on behalf of the tier one contractors.
But like any industry there comes a tipping point, where the benefits outweigh
the costs. We may not be there yet, but robots are proving their worth and industry
is starting to appreciate their advantages.
