Sustainable Construction Through On‐site Robotic Fabrication: Past and Future Concepts

The use of robotics in construction has been experimented with for nearly fifty years. Selen Ercan Jenny, Guest‐Editor of this AD, and Abel Gawel, Principal Researcher in Computer Vision and Machine Learning with the Huawei European Research Center, run us through a brief history of such developments, and describe the sustainable advantages of contemporary research in this field alongside the many hurdles still to be overcome to achieve the full adoption of robots on construction sites.
