GMV participates in the presentation of HispaRob and PTEC’s White Paper on Robotics in Construction

GMV has participated in the presentation of the White Paper on Robotics in Construction, an initiative spearheaded by HispaRob and the Spanish Construction Technology Platform (PTEC). This event brought together government representatives, technology companies, and key players in the sector to analyze the role of robotics in the transformation of the sector. 

The event highlighted the need to evolve towards more industrialized construction models, capable of improving productivity, reducing lead times, and addressing the shortage of skilled labor. As such, robotics, together with artificial intelligence and the intensive use of data, is positioned as a key enabler to drive a more efficient, safe, and sustainable construction sector.

Representing GMV, Ángel C. Lázaro, head of Robotics and Automation for the Industry Sector, participated in the round-table discussion on the future of robotics in construction. In his remarks, he emphasized the strategic role of collaborative robotics as a driving force for expanding human capabilities in increasingly complex work environments. This approach means professionals’ roles will shift towards higher-value-added tasks, such as supervision, planning, and decision making, while autonomous robotic systems will take on inspection tasks, repetitive operations, or activities involving safety risks. In this way, human-robot collaboration not only contributes to improving operational efficiency, but also to increasing safety and quality conditions in construction projects.

GMV also highlighted the potential of technological solutions such as uPathWay, a platform designed for the comprehensive management of heterogeneous robot fleets. This solution enables the orchestration and coordination of various operations performed by multiple autonomous systems on-site from a single environment, facilitating interoperability, scalability, and centralized control of automated processes.
