Investigating Robot Dogs for Construction Monitoring: A Comparative Analysis of Specifications and On-site Requirements
Robot dogs are receiving increasing attention in various fields of research. However, the number of studies investigating their potential usability on construction sites is scarce. The construction industry implies several human resource-demanding tasks such as safety monitoring, material transportation, and site inspections. Robot dogs can address some of these challenges by providing automated support and lowering manual effort. In this paper, we investigate the potential usability of currently available robot dogs on construction sites in terms of focusing on their different specifications and on-site requirements to support data acquisition. In addition, we conducted a real-world experiment on a large-scale construction site using a quadruped robot. In conclusion, we consider robot dogs to be a valuable asset for monitoring intricate construction environments in the future, particularly as their limitations are mitigated through technical advancements.
