The government work report of the 2019 "two sessions" emphasized the need to adhere to the innovation-led development, cultivate and strengthen the new kinetic energy; to promote the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries; to promote the accelerated development of emerging industries, deepen the research and development of big data, artificial intelligence and other applications. This expression triggered the representatives and members of the hot discussion and **** Ming. A number of representatives and members of the proposal to vigorously promote intelligent manufacturing, and actively use artificial intelligence, big data to understand user needs, optimize production, will be made in China to intelligent, high-end, market-oriented.

As a typical representative of traditional industries, the total output value of China's construction industry reached 23.5 trillion yuan in 2018,

a year-on-year increase of 9.9 percent, but right now there is a shortage of labor, a low rate of labor productivity, and a work environment

In the view of Yang Guoqiang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the board of directors of BGI Group, China is a big construction country, and the scale of the construction market ranks among the world's top, but the The construction industry is big but not good, the degree of informationization and intelligence is low, and the current "dangerous, complicated, dirty, heavy" features are prominent, and the development and progress of the times has not been compatible, there is an urgent need for the industry to carry out innovation and transformation.

Another prominent problem lies in the labor shortage. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of migrant workers engaged in the construction industry in 2017 was 54,152,300, accounting for 18.9% of the total number of migrant workers in China, a year-on-year decline of 0.8%. With the accelerating trend of social aging, the supply of young and middle-aged labor is showing an increasing shortage.

In fact, the labor shortage problem is more prominent in developed countries where labor costs are expensive.

In order to break through the bottleneck, the global construction industry has focused on robots. The prototype of fully automated bricklaying robot "Hadrian" was developed by Australian engineer Mark Pivac in 2015 and developed into "Hadrian X". It can work 24 hours a day, laying 1,000 bricks an hour and finishing a house in two days. A U.S. company developed a bricklaying robot "Sam" can lay 300-400 bricks in an hour, the speed of ordinary bricklayers 5 to 6 times.

Yang Guo-Qiang envisioned: if the construction of a 30-story building, 70% of the workers with construction robots to complete the construction, leaving 30% of the construction of skilled workers, training 20% of the operation of construction robots of the new construction workers, not only can be a fundamental solution to the problem of safety and quality, but also greatly improve labor productivity and save a lot of cost.

Currently, China's new urbanization process continues, with the construction area of the country's housing enterprises reaching 8.223 billion square meters in 2018, up 5.2 percent year-on-year.

In reality, real estate development itself is a big user of construction robot applications, such as wallboard installation robots, brick-laying robots, painting robots, welding robots and so on.

Many companies and organizations have already announced their entry into the field of construction robots
