Japan’s Shimizu Co., LTD developed the world’s first construction robot
in the 1980s, namely the SSR-1 refractory spraying robot (Hong,
Ma.,2015). In the following decades, construction robot has been
attached great importance by all countries in the world, and has been
rapidly developed and applied in engineering to a certain extent.
According to the different functions of construction robots, they can be
divided into wall construction robots, decoration robots, maintenance
robots, rescue robots and 3D printing construction robots. This paper
systematically summarizes the application fields and key technologies at
home and abroad from the aspects of mechanical structure and control
system.
