Aerial Construction Drones Begin Real-World Testing Following Autonomy Framework Release

Flying robots unlock new horizons in construction

An international team has explored how in future aerial robots could process construction materials precisely in the air -- an approach with great potential for difficult-to-access locations or work at great heights. The flying robots are not intended to replace existing systems on the ground, but rather to complement them in a targeted manner for repairs or in disaster areas, for instance.

Flying robot drone workers could help build skyscrapers of future

Flying robots could help build skyscrapers, offering safer, greener alternatives to traditional construction.

Aerial robots offer safer, more sustainable construction methods

New research led by Imperial College London and co-authored by the University of Bristol, has revealed that aerial robotics could provide wide-ranging benefits to the safety, sustainability and scale of construction.
