According to The Asahi Shimbun, the newest helpers at a construction site here in Japan don't need breaks and will work until they're programmed to stop.
Kajima Corp., a leading general contractor, is showing off cutting-edge robots it is using to assist with building. The company said it aims to use the robots to cover personnel shortages and improve the labor environment. Kajima showed off its Yokohama Gate Tower construction site in the Minato Mirai area in Yokohama’s Nishi Ward to the media to offer a glimpse of what the future of construction could look like. Two workers used a robot called an “assist machine” to set up external walls. Normally cranes would be used from the rooftop for this task, but the company said the machine can save on labor and time. The contractor also showed off a robot that automatically smooths concrete floors. http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/13941536 If you want to read this article in Japanese, please see the following link: https://www.j-abc.com/jp-blog/9235165.html?lang=ja Comments are closed.
