How do robots reduce labor costs in construction?

  1. By working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

  2. By performing tasks more quickly and efficiently than human workers

  3. By reducing the need for overtime pay

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Robots reduce labor costs in construction by working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, performing tasks more quickly and efficiently than human workers, and reducing the need for overtime pay.

How do robots improve accuracy and precision in construction?

  1. By using sensors and cameras to collect data

  2. By following pre-programmed instructions

  3. By using computer-aided design (CAD) software

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Robots improve accuracy and precision in construction by using sensors and cameras to collect data, following pre-programmed instructions, and using computer-aided design (CAD) software.

How do robots reduce project completion times in construction?

  1. By working faster than human workers

  2. By working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

  3. By eliminating the need for rework

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Robots reduce project completion times in construction by working faster than human workers, working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and eliminating the need for rework.

What are some of the challenges associated with the use of robots in construction?

  1. High cost of robots
