How Autonomous Robots Are Changing Construction

- There's a lot of buzz around self-driving cars, but autonomous-driving technology could revolutionize a different industry first - construction. That industry hasn’t changed much over the last several decades, according to some experts, making it an ideal candidate for automation.
“The way we build today is largely unchanged from the way we used to build 50 years ago,” said Gaurav Kikani, vice president of Built Robotics. “Within two years, I think we’re really going to turn the corner, and you’re going to see an explosion of robotics being used on construction sites.”
The industry is also faced with a labor shortage that the Covid-19 pandemic has further complicated.
“Covid is making people step back and say, ‘hey, the way we’ve been doing things for a long time is just not sustainable,’” said Kevin Albert, founder and CEO of Canvas. “It is just a wake-up call for the industry.”
Canvas is one of several companies working on autonomous construction technology. Big players like Caterpillar and Komatsu, and start-ups like SafeAI and Built Robotics, see value in using autonomous machines to accelerate construction projects.
The mining industry was one of the first to employ the use of self-driving tech. Caterpillar began its first autonomy program more than 30 years ago. The company now has the largest fleet of autonomous haul trucks. Caterpillar says it’s hauled 2 billion metric tons in just over six years.
Built Robotics is a San Francisco-based start-up founded by an ex-Google engineer that already has machinery out in the field. It’s automated several pieces of equipment, such as bulldozers and excavators.
“You can now collapse your construction timeline so you can knock out work overnight so that it’s ready for your human workers in the morning to speed them along,” Kikani said.
SafeAI is another Silicon Valley start-up. It recently teamed up with Obayashi for a pilot program. It’s been retrofitting equipment like dump trucks, bulldozers and loaders.
Robots are also helping inside. San Francisco-based Canvas created an autonomous machine for finishing drywall and has worked on projects like the San Francisco International Airport and Chase Arena. Humans work alongside its robotic system.
“Drywall is very hard work on the body,” Albert said. “And we’ve seen that 1 out of every 4 workers has to end their career early because of injuries. This will create longer careers for people and also enable people to join the trades that haven’t had access before.”
The construction industry is one of the largest sectors in the global economy, with about $10 trillion spent each year. That spending accounts for 13% of the world’s GDP, even though the sector’s annual productivity growth has only increased 1% over the past 20 years. According to McKinsey & Co., $1.6 trillion of additional value could be created through higher productivity, and autonomy would help the industry achieve that.

Wwould this solve the issue of 6 month road construction projects, where 5.5 months of orange barrels block all lanes and 0.5 months of actual work?
Thats mainly because of stupid paperwork and bureaucracy in public works.
Doesn't solve BS Bureoucracy.
I am a field engineer doing road construction for oil and gas a head of the rigs. When we are allowed to close roads we can rebuild 5 miles of 2 lane roads paved and lined from gravel 1 lanes in 2 weeks. When we need to keep lanes open it drags on. Instead of placing 2 inches of asphalt each lane, we have to place 2 smaller lifts, doubling time on paving. Then you have to coordinate utility relocations. It is also slower to do safety, we have to manage zones and limit where we work so we can't work efficiently as we would like.
No it won't solve the problem of people taking about subjects they know nothing about.
They'd need a way to continue the corruption and bribes in these projects though, I propose in the name of efficiency that the friends of politicians who own these firms, just be given access to local authority bank accounts.

@@harrisonwintergreen1147 I wouldn't blame them in this case, replacing heavy equipment operators does nothing to improve the industry besides cutting costs by getting rid of the best jobs in construction.

They are correct that workplace injuries will be reduced for construction workers. How many injuries will happen to a construction worker while they are at home waiting for their unemployment check to arrive.
They could injure themselves playing fortnite, PUBG @home.
I doubt they'll give us unemployment, they'll let us be homeless or x us off
I guess if you are considering a career on construction, you may want to specialize a bit more.
exactly. merely having a strong back will not be enough.
@HJ R You could have sensors installed in pipes that would check for leaks in future. It could be sold as a value added service in Smart Home Solutions.

@@Clyde We'd love to invite you to our circus 😅😅
So many idiots were telling me 2 years ago that it wouldn't touch construction or mechanics. Yeah, we'll see. Lmfao
Think of all the idiots who work middle management thinking AI can't do low level math.
If you've been in the construction industry as one of the operator like myself of such heavy machineries you know it'll be a long shot still before we see these autonomous technology taking over, those equipment still needs human intervention. To fellow operators around maybe its time to move forward and take notice of these autonomous tech, learn about it and figure how to still be part of the construction industry. Technological advancement is good overall, but theres gonna be those that gonna left out of the only job that they enjoy/like/passionate about if they don't move forward.
Agree. The biggest issue is the disconnect between these programmers and tech people with the skilled tradesmen. They will never see eye to eye and won't understand the fact ls of each side. Those machines picking up 1/4 buckets in 4 seconds will never become more efficient then a human picking up full buckets in a second. AI has a long way to go in 70% of this industry. Haul trucks, scrapers, dozers will be the first to automate but will need heavy assistance of human operators getting most of it prepared doe the robots.
GPS assisted equipment is the present and future but too many of the operators are old timers that refuse to give it the chance.
@@vikkzx If cost isn't the 1st lens of examination of this paradigm shift, then you're missing the point. Robots don't need rest and they can operate at a fraction of the cost of human labor. Ppl's skill is irrelevant, they will find a way to replicate human efforts over time (and with the help of human operators no less). The technology is progressing so fast that they will figure out their way around inefficiencies and problems. It's coming. There's nothing we can do to stop it.
@@afterthought6889 this will happen but it's not close. We're 20 years from this being viable. I have seen these in demos and they are so inefficient and clunky. These programmers have no idea what they are doing. The cost of fuel, maintenance is comparable to the labor.
Having a machine run 24/7 at 10% capacity compared to an operator at 80% capacity for 8 hours it will be alot more efficient with an operator compared to the AI.
I have worked making the 3d modules for GPS assisted equipment and have realized how disconnects techies are to this industry and how bad their models are. They have no clue and won't until we get people who understand technology as well as this operator skills.
@@vikkzx i hear you. I tend think it's a lot closer than you think though. All the smart $ is behind machine learning. Progress will likely be exponential, not linear. Based on what you see now you're thinking we have 20 years to figure out what to do...the trucking industry thought they had 20 years just 5 years ago.
Don’t be surprised if it happens faster Then you realize, ai is making fast strides
Around my place they introduced self-supermarket checkout system the workers at the counter are no where to be seen now.

@@kittyprincesse8233 what
@@kittyprincesse8233 the reality, you'll at best graduate college at 22, soon realize no company wants to hire you because HR wants 10+ years in experience. So you settle for a job slightly bellow what you're looking for and move back with your parents. This will be like this until your mid 30s when you finally get the job you deserve but can't still afford a house, so you settle for an appointment. Then it only gets worse after that.
So this is how robots will literally crush us.
There will be job for robots and human...

@@b3armonk And this is a good thing, humans should not be doing dangerous work.
XIAO
Do you really think that this is limited to construction work? Almost every industry fill face this fate. Furthermore many of these workers actually enjoy their jobs. Which aren’t to dangerous if there are proper safety precautions.
@@gcc2313 Construction work is one of the most dangerous jobs out there, here in Sweden 14 people lost their lives in the industry and we have very strict safety rules, the problem is that in real life they are sometimes discarded for economic profit.

The mining industry here in Australia has been using autonomous trucks for quite a few years now. Komatsu and Caterpillar. The company I work for even use autonomous trains and drills. It’s weird when a giant dump truck carrying 250 tonnes of iron ore drives past you and there’s no driver behind the wheel.
We all knew this was gonna happen lol I didn't think it would happen so soon
I work in this industry, and yes it’s possible to automate certain large scale mining or excavation projects. With that said, there is way too much discretion involved for AI to make human decisions and adjustments on 90% of job sites.
for the moment.
@@balushidoublecdown942 It always will be. Each job site is uniqe. Especially when it comes to budget oriented projects and in Asia. Muddy work, hillside work, bucy and unplanned roadwork.. And then there's Asia.. My god that'd be a nightmare for any AI. It's just way too many variables and more to learn on a daily basis. Not even AI can get adapted to it. And the too many human factors ebedded and uniqe to this industry is insane. So, as said, Autonomous mining is easy in planned and slowly changing job sites like huge mines. Just not for economically and socially stormy environments..
Perhaps with the ability to monitor autonomous machinery construction workers can drive the machines while working from home.
Automation (which includes AI) can improve the workers' quality of life, repetitive tasks for long periods of time are nocive for humans, people in the future will be working at home, and just doing very specific and personalized tasks.

@@spenserthomas3635 no engineer computes by hand what an engineer does is design and try to solve a problem those algorithms our just tools. Same with accountants they look for ways to save on taxes not just punch numbers.
@@ipodtouch470 once AI surpasses humans in creativity it's truly over. But at that point we have basically created a new lifeform so gg I guess
Interesting video, but it would also be nice to have the point of view of people actually working on construction sites and not only the one of tech entrepreneur or journalist. Beside, the construction costs in the US are not representatives of the rest of the world. Automation won't solve any permitting issues and having machines capable of working at night won't be of any help if there are local regulations in place which restrict it anyway because of noise constraints.

44 construction workers die every year during excavation work, having autonomous robots doing the job would completely eliminate any deaths involved with excavation. excavation is one of those jobs should be done by autonomous robotics.
I've done both construction and computer programming. This story is hyped up because a construction site changes significantly on a daily basis; without true AI, it is hard to program a computer for that. Snow shovelling is much more programmable because you would program an unchanging roadway or walkway to be shovelled.
Given that these are intended to be still operated by humans, I don't see at all how this would be an issue.
I urge all viewers to understand that introduction of major robotization will lead to an immediate decrease in citizen income and increase of corporate income, unless we come up with a creative worldwide solution.

There are countless robots at my job. Moving around me, delivering parts. I just have this feeling that one will short circuit and just go rogue plowing into everyone and everything😅
If a robot can eliminate skilled trades that took years to learn and master then no career is safe. If no career is safe this is a disincentive to invest in skills and education. If artificial intelligence will be doing all the computer programming in 15 years why would anyone who's going to college study computer programming?
I work with people who are experts in the AI field.. AI is an over used buzzword that doesn't even exist. What we have today is machine learning that requires huge sets of data and models to create something that has zero intelligence.
Another excuse so Kubota, Caterpillar, Case, John Deere can lease more expensive gear to construction contractors, since the old one cannot operate with self driving pods.
And because of contracts with no right to repair , there goes the yard mechanic out of the door. And since there will be no repairman on-site , as soon as the new technology malfunctions , as it always does, you have the perfect excuse for cost overrun and project delays.
Come to think, it is always better to get experienced crane, backhoe, plow operators who can safely perform their trade.

I know there are many out there that will argue "there will always be jobs," yes, i would agree.
However, i just want to point out that we're slowly moving into service-base jobs, because lets face it, college graduates don't shovel dirt, or lift 100lb bags of cement after getting a degree in computer engineering or micro-biology.
These (manual labor) occupations, are largely filled by working class folks and migrants with low levels of education. I have several uncles that made decent money working construction, with current back problems due to years in the field, but they ventured into that field because they were recent migrants and receiving a decent education in their home country is expensive.
That's kind of the point. The dream is to be a pampered, well-educated white collar man and not a migrant with chronic back pain and probably cancer or some other debilitating disease from asbestos/lead/carcinogen exposure. You are stating the obvious. The whole "come to America for a better life or at least for my children to have a better life."

this isn't unfolding anything. Some automated excavators that have been around for 7 years according to the video, and yet they're still yet to see mass use. And they don't even do the job necessarily better or cheaper than humans. Yang's ideas on automation, even though they were well-meaning, were way over-exaggerated. His talk about manufacturing jobs being "automated away" doesn't stand up to an examination of the facts or even common sense. If it were all automated away, we wouldn't be running a massive trade deficit with countries with low wages (afterall, it's all "automated", right?). This talk about automation has been ongoing for years and years and years, and the pace has not drastically changed.

Machines controlling machines controlling machines making machines making buildings to make more machines that create more machines that controls other machines.
Skynet is online! 😶
So $13Trillion is 10% of the world's GDP and still I'm poor?
Divide with number of workers.
It might as well be monoply money. We give it value. Not the other way around.
Most of that goes to architects and CEOs.
Construction sites are more systematic, at this point you know they never consulted an actual project manager
Mr engineer we need you to build a robot that automates engineering
Engineer: "yes sir right away sir"
You think there's a connection with this and the mysterious monolith in Utah? I'm saying Unicron is awakening.
It's gone now🤔 scary times 😅

What?

Just put everyone out of work and they starve and the big rich companies get richer and they live with a world of robots.
The rich companies revenues will collapse if there aren't people who buy their stuff

Universal basic income
Or maybe stop being lazy and acquire new skills.

Would these robots pay income tax ? Will they be paid state minimum wages and do they get lunch breaks?
What if they go rogue ?
DEVASTATOR TRANSFORM!!!!! I love it they are building the constructicons, next will be the insecticons, then stunticons, combaticons and lastly Predacons
I am heavy equipment operator and i fear of it
dont fear it learn about it and you will be running the machine just outside of the machine im learning about it and how to make it work its really interesting
Good bye human jobs! I guess everyone should learn to code...
Should work out well for the 1%
Even coders are becoming more and more disposable. Coding is a grind with a high burnout rate for many. With the maturity of AI and machine learning, self programming is already starting to happen.
In the end, unless you are extraordinarily skilled and/or entrepreneurial,, it seems like the only viable human jobs will be the ones where the human is being of personal service to another human.. So.. Maybe we should become massage therapists, entertainers, comedians, bartenders, and fluffers.

Why should there be a complete surrender to this?
@@garolstipock
The solution is augmentation of human labour and technologies already exist in that regard... There are already exosuits for example...
Autonomous equipment is something to think about, it still will need to be observed of what is going on in case something unexpected comes up: encountering buried pipelines or data lines, power lines... The unexpected are out there.
It's exactly like playing a video game, brilliant
Hoe that there are some retraining lessons for the displaced operators
Panhandling, begging, soup lines 101
There they go more robot's. Take what JOB'S are left. It's always about the bottom line.
Robots are not the problem. Business practices and tax/social policy are the real issue. If a machine can perform as well or better than a human than they should. When it comes to labor [that can be automated] machines are better in almost every way. The key is to use this newfound productivity for the benefit of everyone instead of just the 1% and other elites.
Robot rights.
How can they claim this will reduce strain on workers when they're planning on replacing the one job that doesn't involve manual labor? Heavy equipment operation is one of the few construction jobs that is actually skilled, high wage, and comfortable (and fun). Now the only construction jobs for people will the most mundane, back-breaking, and low-skill/low wage. Good job silicon valley, keep splitting society further in two so we can all either be part of a limited pool of highly skilled workers or totally unskilled workers and give the business owners an even higher share of the profits.
lol Ladar only works in pre mapped areas an cant function if that area changes ie.. materials delevered other equipment brought in, so on an so forth.
Waymo will Fail, Tesla will Win.
I was thinking about all the terrible site drawings received from young newbie engineers. Its hard enough for a experienced site manager to decipher the drawings the how is a AI going to interpret it? Also let's say you have to lower the site evaluation 3ft and hit rock at 2ft, would the system be able to change out its buckets for a rock breaker?
@@ethanlehman7110 It skip that segment and would page the supervisor who would then summon 2 unemployed illegals with pick axes who would then be deported without pay
Maybe one day robots can displace the jobs of these engineers and then they will know how it feels to have there job killed
Hmm, being an engineer, I can say that I can always reskill myself to fit the new requirements. And there is almost always going to be requirement for engineers, no matter how skilled your AI is
@@thunderb00m If AI can constantly learning at 10x speed and innovate on its own, It won’t take long to replace you.
@@JMian We'd love to invite you to our podcast as a guest ❤️
@@JMian You overestimate the power of AI lol
Then we see labor robots like setting cement blocks and plastering.
no they just paint flats and digg in sand
Why would they need to set cement blocks when they can just print them out site or any shape for that matter.
@@gabrielrobinson6987 maybe you dont take the cement spray as durable as casted
why they dont spray metal instead of casting
Thats superior especially once man fully learns how too use it hopefully deep learning and Artificial intelligence will be updated and used in the autonomy industry...come build up Edmonton Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 and Canada
Anyone remember that nightmare scene in the first Terminator where Kyle Reese is overlooking that oil drilling project and the equipment reminds him of the HKs and he falls asleep briefly and has that nightmare about them?
