Ergonomics in construction robotics and human-robot teams in the AEC domain: a review

Abstract Over the last decade, potential and prospects for using robotics various construction activities have increased, particularly dangerous work areas such as roof construction, in hazardous environments, improving productivity while shielding workers from strenuous accidents. As there been concerns about human factors collaborating with humans on worksites, ergonomics human-robot teams’ research is critical to enhancing advantages adoption of collaborative robots competitiveness organisations. This study reviews emerging trends teams robotics, focusing addressing grey body knowledge. A systematic review publications similar industries extensive studies applicable built environment were identified. The summarises articles that emerged over decade highlights nature collaboration, ergonomic development interplay between design ergonomics. Its outcome benefits AEC practice building knowledge guiding by issues.
