Implication

Systematic review reveals cognitive, affective, and physical responses to robotic systems in construction, highlighting key requirements for scalable and safe human-robot collaboration.

Key Points

To systematically identify and synthesize the human factors evaluated in construction human-robot collaboration and examine the subjective and objective measurement methodologies used to assess them.
Conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines across Scopus and Web of Science databases for literature published between 2000 and 2026.
Screened records to identify and analyze 163 eligible studies evaluating human-robot interaction within construction environments.
Classified human-state responses into four core dimensions: cognitive, affective, physical, and perceived acceptance and usability.
Identified wide variation in assessment strategies, combining subjective self-reports and objective measurement tools influenced by robotic configuration and operational contexts.
