Zusammenfassung
The paper explores integrating cyber-physical systems in construction,
targeting workforce shortages, productivity issues, and environmental concerns.
It highlights the shift towards human-robot collaboration (HRC) to enhance productivity
and safety. However, HRC implementation in prefabrication and construction
encounters challenges like low productivity and worker lack of trust. To
address these, the paper advocates for reflexive research methods to understand
workers’ needs and promote inclusivity in HRC design.
It examines the relevance of feminist technoscience perspectives (FTS) in
addressing industry needs and fostering inclusivity in HRC design. Through an
analysis of three case studies in HRC, the paper identifies research gaps and
proposes strategies to enhance HRC design for prefabrication and construction. It
emphasizes the significance of the FTS Framework in guiding these efforts.
The FTS Framework assesses and informs HRC design for construction. It
raises designers’ awareness of power dynamics, biases, and inclusivity issues.
The chosen case studies illustrate collaborations among diverse agents, human
augmentation in design and fabrication processes, and usability of HRC designs.
The paper evaluates the case studies using the four perspectives of the
FTS Framework: Embodiment, Reconfiguration, Interrelations, and Participation.
These perspectives guide efforts to adapt HRC designs to workers’ needs, address
on-site challenges, redistribute agency for inclusivity, and involve users in the
design process. Leveraging the FTS Framework, the paper aims to address automation
challenges in construction and facilitate the transition ofHRC from laboratory
settings to industry applications.
