The use of construction robots is set to rise . Autonomous vehicles are increasing safety and efficiency with round the clock working . Robotic arms have been used in manufacturing assembly lines for years and now that technology is being adapted to be more portable or used for a range of labour-intensive tasks on construction sites – such as moving materials , building masonry walls and 3D printing structures . SAM , short for Semi-Automated Mason , is among the first commercially available bricklaying robots designed and engineered by Construction Robotics . The SAM100 can work collaboratively with on-site masonry construction and lower the health and safety impact on the workforce .
