Building information modeling, Robotics, ConstructionAbstract
The integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and robotics is revolutionizing the construction industry but faces significant challenges such as interoperability and the complexity of work environments. This study aims to explore the advancements, challenges, and future prospects of this integration through a systematic literature review. The methodology includes data collection from the SCOPUS platform, quantitative analysis using VOSviewer software, and qualitative analysis of the most influential articles. The results highlight improvements in efficiency and safety of construction processes, task automation, and the need for the development of specialized skills. The study provides valuable insights for researchers and professionals, highlighting opportunities for future research and development.
