Abstract

As a vital pillar of the national economy, the construction industry is currently confronted with issues such as labor shortages, rising costs, and high safe-ty risks. The rise of robot technology offers new hope. This article explores the application of robot technology in the automation of construction, intro-duces the classification, key technologies, and international cooperation of construction automation and robots, and elaborates on the application of robots in civil engineering, component assembly, exterior wall treatment, and other links, as well as the human-robot collaboration model. Through a practical case in South Africa, it analyzes the advantages of robot application, including ensuring worker safety, improving efficiency, reducing costs, and promoting innovative customization. At the same time, it points out the challenges it faces, such as high costs, poor technical adaptability, complex operation, and low worker acceptance. Research shows that robot technology has great potential in the automation of construction, but it requires the joint efforts of all parties to increase investment, reduce costs, strengthen training, and improve regulations to promote its wide application and the intelligent development of the construction industry.
