Pioneering robotics in construction: Leighton Asia trials quadruped robots on Hong Kong sites

Leighton Asia is at the forefront of construction innovation, introducing advanced quadruped robots for autonomous progress monitoring and visual surveying on a major building site in Hong Kong.

This pioneering deployment on a large-scale construction project in the region aims to revolutionise quality assurance and progress tracking, a traditionally labour-intensive task in dynamic and complex work-in-progress environments.

How quadruped robots are transforming construction surveying:

  • Enhanced safety – Robots navigate hazardous areas with ongoing activities, reducing workers’ exposure to risks and challenging terrains.
  • Boosted productivity – One operator can deploy multiple robots across different site zones simultaneously, streamlining extensive snagging and inspections.
  • Optimised resources – Integrated with cloud-based surveying and reporting platforms, robots centralise data collection for seamless team collaboration.
  • Advanced data insights – Automated digitisation and geo-location of survey data enable instant analytics, eliminating manual processing.

At Leighton Asia, we're committed to pushing innovation boundaries to deliver safer, smarter, and more productive construction projects across the regions where we operate in.
