Developing a Work Package Approach for Construction Robotics
The development of robotics in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has emerged in recent years in response to technology advances and industry challenges such as workforce shortages. Construction robotics has the potential to increase construction productivity and accuracy as well as reduce accidents and costs. However, their introduction to construction sites creates new challenges. Previous studies have shown that robots can cause major changes in construction workflow, scope, and methods. Construction robotics introduces key changes to the work process and the sequence of construction tasks. The traditional planning approach for work break down structure and scheduling assigns resources for construction activities based on human labor and craft methods. Despite this, the capabilities of robotics relative to construction resource planning, sequencing, and work scope have not been fully studied. To address this, the implementation of robotics in construction projects needs a new approach to organizing work packages (WP). With the inclusion of robotics as a resource, planning parameters such as methods and sequence will change both the scope and accordingly the work packaging for construction. This paper aims to systematically identify the potential impacts of robots on construction processes, as well as how those changes influences work packaging. The methodology is based on data integration and content analysis from literature review and collected interviews with project participants about real-world construction projects. The paper discusses how construction robots impact the work package approach and categorizes the affected factors. These factors include the work area, sequence and priority of construction activities, safety management, allocation of risk responsibility for tasks, interaction with other trades, and required materials.
