In the construction and infrastructure maintenance industries devices such as remote controls, laser and GPS aided grading, and optimization systems for heavy machinery and equipment have already become a market reality. These technologies are prominent and growing aspects of much of modern industry because they provide the benefits of reducing labor costs, increasing productivity and efficiency, and increasing human worker safety. The devices described herein lay the groundwork for the use of automation in the construction industry. Operators are the essential clement in determining whether robotics can be utilized. The construction industry, on the other hand, contains many barriers to automation. It is very diverse, and every project must cope with unique circumstances. Construction sites tend to be unstructured and dynamic, with unforeseen hazards and difficulties. Automation and robotics has not yet reached the level of sophistication to be able to adapt to such situations on a wide scale.
