Robots in Construction, can we coexist?

Description

Robots have captured the imagination of construction with the possibility of what they can become in assisting humans in the built world. But is this real or just another marketing hype cycle? In this talk, we will explore how robots both physical and virtual are impacting construction companies and discern between hype and reality. If you are balancing a mix of old technology and looking to the future this is the talk for you.
