Exploring the Path of Human-Robot Collaboration on Project Team Resilience by Digital Technology

In an era where project environments are increasingly complex and uncertain, traditional control and risk management strategies often fall short. This chapter explores how human-robot collaboration, driven by digital technologies like artificial intelligence, can significantly enhance project team resilience. By integrating AI into construction tasks such as production, quality, and safety, teams can achieve a tighter coupling of human soft skills and robotic hard skills, enabling them to tackle more intricate collaborative tasks. The availability of big data further empowers decision-making, allowing teams to build resilience through resource complementarity and optimized decision efficiencies. The chapter delves into the mediating effects of resource acquisition, revealing how human-robot collaboration can indirectly bolster team resilience by facilitating the acquisition of critical external resources. Additionally, it examines the moderating role of human-robot trust, demonstrating how higher levels of trust amplify the positive impact of collaboration on team resilience. Through empirical testing and theoretical modeling, the chapter provides a nuanced understanding of how AI-driven human-robot collaboration can transform project governance and smart construction, paving the way for more resilient and adaptable project teams.
