Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — A delegation from Uzbekistan's Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services has explored the use of robots to automate construction work during a visit to China, the ministry's press service said.
Young architects who were part of the delegation visited MacigBIM, a company developing robotic solutions for the construction industry.
Company representatives explained how robots designed to automate construction processes are developed and programmed. They also outlined training programmes for specialists in the field.
The delegation was shown technologies for scanning construction sites, creating three-dimensional building models, finishing walls and laying floor tiles using robots.
Participants also examined how robotics could be used to inspect hard-to-reach and hazardous areas of buildings, survey engineering infrastructure, detect faults at an early stage and improve workplace safety on construction sites.
The discussions also covered the integration of robotic solutions with building information modelling (BIM) technologies and the use of artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency of construction processes.
Following the event, the sides considered prospects for introducing these technologies into Uzbekistan's construction industry, including the digitalisation of processes and quality control of construction and installation work.
