SINGAPORE — The robots are taking over — they could be painting and plastering walls for about half the Build-To-Order (BTO) projects built from 2025, and soon, these machines could even be conducting inspection and remote supervision works.
About half of new Build-To-Order construction sites will use robots to carry out labour-intensive tasks to enhance site productivity.SINGAPORE — The robots are taking over — they could be painting and plastering walls for about half the Build-To-Order projects built from 2025, and soon, these machines could even be conducting inspection and remote supervision works.
The upcoming roll-out of robots at BTO sites will be done progressively, and follows 10 trials of such robots conducted across several BTO sites since 2023. These trials have yielded positive outcomes, said HDB. “We hope that this will make advanced technologies more affordable for our contractors, and accelerate the process of identifying, onboarding and deploying suitable robots at our BTO sites,” added Tan.
In his speech, Tan also cited HDB’s Construction Transformation Project as another example of how the agency is working with contractors to use technology to make BTO worksites safer and more productive.
