It’s no secret that manual labor in construction can take a significant toll on the human body, and high-strain activities can have a long-term health impact for workers. 

That’s where Robotics comes in: By augmenting how workers do their jobs today, robots are helping to relieve them of the burden of many high-strain tasks, freeing workers to do their jobs faster, safer, and more efficiently. 

In this episode recorded live at Autodesk University, Eric sits down with Brooke Gemmell, Emerging Technology Partner at Skanska, to break down the current state of robotics in construction and how it will impact the industry in the coming years. 

We discuss: 

• How robots make manual labor and redundant activities easier 
• The biggest myths about robotics in construction 
• Benefits for adopting robotics & technology 
• Biggest obstacles to widespread adoption and how to mitigate them 
• Best practices for successful adoption
