There are also construction robots for brick-laying and masonry, and even robots that lay an entire street at one time. These types of robots dramatically improve the speed and quality of construction work. Demolition robots are another type of construction robot that's about to break into mainstream applications. A recent study by the Midwest Economic Policy Institute (MEPI) estimates that by 2057 robots could replace or displace 2.7 million jobs in construction. Some occupations in construction have a higher potential for automation like operating engineers which has an 88% potential for automation.
