The advent of construction robotics leads to many questions for today’s contractors. How will construction technology evolve over the next 10 years? Will robots replace tasks that human crews perform today? How might contractors choose when to use a robot and when to use human labor?

Construction technology startups are already confronting these questions from a product development perspective. How should they design their products to be used? How do they intend for people and machines to interact? Their decisions will have a significant impact on how contractors run their businesses in the future.
