The future of construction

 

New technology pops into our feeds on a daily basis. One area we may not be seeing advancements in is the construction industry. We are used to seeing bulldozers, excavators being on the front line of demolition on the job site, but that is changing. One big change is the addition of demolition robots. These machines are safer, more efficient, and more powerful than the much larger machines that are currently being used. 

 

Demolition Robots are showing us a peek into the future of construction and now occupy 90% of the robotics construction market.

 

 5 benefits of demolition robots:

1: Safe & Efficient 

Demolition robots the risk of injury away for the trickier jobs. Demolition robots are also able to do the jobs faster and can outperform excavators that are 5 to 6 times larger due to their power.  

 

2.) Versatile 

The Husqvarna DSR series for example is a highly capable multitool that can be built out for a wide variety of projects with additional add ons. With 360-degree movement on the arm and up to a 216 in upward reach and a 204 in forwarding reach in the largest models. The demolition robots are also compact which allows them to be easily transported and much more maneuverable than the larger machinery.

 

3.) User Friendly 

Demolition robots are remote-controlled machines with a simple and easy-to-use interface. With a user-friendly control layout, you are able to control these machines with precision and ease once trained. 

4.) Built Tough  

Demolition robots are built to work through long days in rough conditions. They are also built from materials that allow them to be safe from most natural conditions, including fire resistance. 

 

5.) Powerful 

These robots have an incredibly high power-to-weight ratio giving them enough breaking power for even the hardest jobs. 

 

A new standard for efficiency and safety is beginning to be established by the addition of demolition robots. The benefits they have are clear and they will only continue to get better as the technology advances. Time will only tell how they continue to push the construction space forward.
