This paper explores the increasing role of mechatronics in the construction industry and its impact on infrastructure development. It provides an overview of mechatronics, its historical development, and key components used in construction applications. The paper examines various mechatronics applications in building construction and infrastructure development, including robotic construction systems, smart sensors and monitoring systems, advanced materials and 3D printing, intelligent transportation systems, renewable energy infrastructure, and water and waste management. It also discusses the challenges and future directions of mechatronics in construction, addressing limitations, safety and ethical considerations, and potential advancements. The importance of mechatronics in transforming the construction industry and building sustainable infrastructure is emphasized, along with a call to action for further research and adoption of mechatronics in construction.
