Three Types of Robots in Construction And
Manufacturing For Multiple Tasks
1. Stationary Robots

Stationary robots are robots that operate without changing

positions. The term “stationary” does not imply that the robot is
not moving. It means that the base of the robot does not move
throughout the operation. Robots anchored to the floor, ceiling, or
another surface are considered stationary. Although it is
extremely simple to automate these robots, they can only
construct structures that fit in their workspace. These robots
usually modify their surroundings by manipulating the position
and orientation of an end-effector.
Stationary robots in construction mainly include gantry robots,
robotic arms, and cable robots.

1. A. Gantry Robots:
A gantry robot is an overhead system with an attached
manipulator that enables movement across a horizontal
plane. Gantry robots are also referred to as Cartesian or
Linear robots. They are typically huge systems for pick and
place operations, welding, and many other applications.
These robots in the construction provide large work areas
and better positioning accuracy. The robot’s ability to
place a part correctly is known as position accuracy.
Because they use an X, Y, and Z coordinate system, gantry
robots are simpler to program in terms of the motion. They
are less constrained by limitations in floor space, which is
an additional benefit.

1. B. Robotic Arms (Articulated Robots)

Robotic arms (also known as articulated arm robots) are
the foundation of manufacturing, machinery, and
industrial automation robotics. They have evolved from
their deep origins in the automobile production sector into
a comprehensive and flexible tool for numerous
industries. Indeed, they are the most prevalent types of
robots in construction. They can perform several tasks like
welding, material handling, thermal spraying, painting,
drilling, and many others. These robots have joint
structures with articulation points. Each extra joint, known
as an axis, adds to the robot arm’s range of motion; the
more axes there are, the more accurate the robot arm may
be.
1. C. Cable Robots
Cable robots use flexible cables as actuators. Each cable
is wound around a rotor twisted by a motor, with the other
end attached to the end-effector. A cable-driven robot is a
mechanism that has several distinct features, including
the capacity to span wide areas while carrying heavy loads
and still being structurally basic in a manner that other
kinds of robots cannot. These robots can execute various
manipulation tasks and offer various advantages over
traditional robotic manipulators. Currently, a limited
number of cable-driven robotic systems are on the
market.

2. Mobile Robots:
Designing fabrication processes to allow for parallelization
and using mobile multi-robot construction systems are
solutions for accelerating construction, but they often
need considerable supporting infrastructure. The mobility
aspect introduces additional challenges such as state
estimation, localization, environment perception, motion
planning, and control. These challenges can be
particularly hard for mobile robots on construction sites,
as these environments are notoriously unstructured and
quickly changing. Mobile robots may find it particularly
difficult to overcome these obstacles in the famously
chaotic and ever-changing settings of

2. A. Wheeled Mobile Robots

One of the most important systems for robot movement is
wheels. When the robot is moving over flat, non-rugged
terrain, the utilization of wheels is simpler to design,
manufacture, and program. Compared to other solutions,
wheel control is less complicated, and it causes less wear
and tears on the surface where it moves. Another benefit
is that they do not provide a significant challenge in
balancing concerns since the robot is generally in touch
with a surface.

2. B. Walking Mobile Robots

Although walking robots are much more expensive than
wheeled robots, having legs offers various benefits over
wheels. The largest benefits of these robots are their
versatility and efficiency, as well as the fact that they can
operate on soft and uneven terrain, providing superior
mobility, energy economy, stability, and a lower effect on
the ground. Walking robots also have the benefit of being
able to deal quickly with obstructions or gaps in the
environment. In short, adaptability and maneuverability on
tough terrain are their main merits. There are several
varieties of walking robots based on the number of legs.
The most significant are bipeds (humanoids), four-legged
(quadrupeds), six-legged, and so on.
2. C. Flying Mobile Robots
The area of digital fabrication is expanding. Recent
advances in computing, sensing, and control make it
possible to build self-sufficient flying machines capable of
carrying out challenging construction tasks in
unstructured environments. The investigation of aerial
approaches to robotic construction has become the most
current research subject for on-site construction. This
concept included the use of flying vehicles to modify
construction components in the air. This would eliminate
the constraints inherent in ground-based movement and
the necessity for scaffolding. Flying robots in construction
float and navigate in the air, utilizing plane-like or
bird/insect-like wings, propellers, or balloons.

3. Swarm Robots:
Swarm robotic platforms, which enable several robots to
cooperate and execute tasks concurrently, are among the
current innovations. Swarm robots in construction are
robotic systems made up of many tiny robots. These
robots in construction do not function as a single entity
but rather operate as their robot modules work
cooperatively. The robots follow their pre-planned,
collision-free trajectories as nearly as possible. The robots
avoid collisions. Due to these requirements, the system
can change the number of robots used throughout
fabrication and add, remove, or reuse them. The system
may be fully parallelized to transversely expand the
structure’s footprint without prolonging the fabrication
process
