Abstract
The construction industry has always been one of the most challenging engineering fields, which in recent decades has faced issues such as resource wastage, reduced productivity, unstable quality, heavy reliance on manual labor, and weak safety standards. Concurrent with the expansion of new technologies like robotics, digitalization, and intelligent systems, an opportunity has emerged for this traditional industry to move toward purposeful and technological industrialization. This article aims to examine the role of robots and intelligent systems in the transformation from design, construction to execution and operation of various buildings. It analyzes their functions in smart building construction and management, sensing and control systems, and explores the possibility of localizing these technologies in Iran. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach and utilizes specialized Persian and English sources. Findings indicate that the synergy between robotics, information technology, and industrial design provides a suitable platform to overcome the limitations of conventional and outdated construction models and paves the way for the creation of intelligent, safe, fast, flexible architecture based on sustainable development in an architectural manner.
