Abstract

The construction industry is rapidly integrating robotics and digital fabrication into architecture. Incorporating these human-robot collaboration (HRC) systems can improve workflow efficiency and precision. However, challenges remain in task allocation, worker acceptance, and regulatory frameworks. Through a comparative case study, this paper explores the role of the interface between human and machine in shaping the workflow and engagement during an open-ended design processes. The findings identify strategies for implementation during advanced construction techniques, enabling a socially sustainable approach for more efficient and inclusive HRC in construction.
