Part 12/15:
Despite its promise, deploying autonomous construction at scale faces hurdles: regulatory frameworks, technical complexity, quality assurance, infrastructure limitations, and economic disruption. Complex architectural designs still require human expertise, and regulations are not yet adapted to fully autonomous systems.
Yet, each challenge is surmountable. Ongoing innovation, regulatory evolution, and industry adaptation will accelerate deployment. Charlotte exemplifies that effective automation involves rethinking methods—Earth bagging instead of concrete extrusion, leveraging local materials rather than imported supplies.
