The Impact of Robotics and BIM in AEC Industries

Robots can do routine or dangerous activities, enhancing safety and performance on the job site. The BIM could serve as a kind of map for robots on the job.

Fremont, CA: Building Information Modeling (BIM), a technology for guiding and monitoring construction processes using digital, 3D building designs and construction plans, has significantly impacted the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries saving experts both time and money. Aside from allowing for clear visualization, BIM has greatly aided cooperation across many sectors, constantly delivering accurate, up-to-date project information.

Robotics is another interesting industry that will transform the AEC business. Surprisingly, robotics and BIM can be mutually beneficial. Robots can do routine or dangerous activities, enhancing safety and performance on the job site. The BIM could serve as a kind of map for robots on the job.

Robotization can alter the construction process in a variety of ways. Robots have the potential to render some human employment redundant.
