Construction robots, as a collection of multidisciplinary technologies, have been extensively studied and implemented by scholars and engineers to boost construction efficiency and minimize the reliance on manual labor. However, the practical application of construction robots has been limited due to a lack of systematic research. The paper explores the future research direction of construction robots using a systematic literature review and a genealogical approach. Moreover, this paper qualitatively discusses the systematic classification of construction robots in terms of “timeline”, “life cycle”, and “functional features”, forming three categories of construction robot genealogy. Moreover, future research directions are proposed from six perspectives: labor force structure, task division model, economic benefits, project management approach, research on the adaptability of construction robots to the site environment, and integration development. This paper provides new insights into the classification of construction robots and gives theoretical references for the subsequent development of construction robots.

建筑机器人技术的谱系


建筑机器人作为多学科技术的集合，已被学者和工程师广泛研究和应用，以提高施工效率并最大限度地减少对体力劳动的依赖。然而，由于缺乏系统的研究，建筑机器人的实际应用受到了限制。本文采用系统文献综述和谱系学方法探讨了建筑机器人的未来研究方向。并从“时间线”、“生命周期”、“功能特征”三个方面对建筑机器人进行了定性的系统分类，形成了建筑机器人谱系的三大类。并从劳动力结构、任务分工模型、经济效益、项目管理方法、建筑机器人对现场环境的适应性研究、集成开发等六个角度提出了未来的研究方向。该文为建筑机器人的分类提供了新的见解，为建筑机器人的后续发展提供了理论参考。
