Robotic systems in construction have great potential in solving key challenges facing the industry such as reducing worker shortages by improving productivity and attracting new talent to the industry. When coupled with other innovative approaches to construction, such as prefabrication, results from robotics can be game changing. DPR Construction, in conjunction with partners Digital Building Components and Dusty Robotics, recently constructed Emerson Hall at UC Davis leveraging BIM to generate instructions for the manufacture, assembly, and on-site installation of a core and shell in record time. The results from this case study showcase the role digital tools play in automating construction and improving cost and schedule certainty, while maintaining a high level of quality and safety.
