The retrofitting of common construction plants and equipment with the robotic system has some way or another crossed over the technological gaps between economically advanced and backward counties. This implies that economically and technologically disadvantaged countries like Nigeria are by implication taking advantage of the efficiency, quality, and safety benefits of construction robots. This study researches the status quo and future of construction robotic and autonomous construction systems in Nigeria. The legitimacy of the research was determined by positivism philosophy. The research was targeted at construction organizations in Lagos State. The research’s findings support the utilization of robotic and autonomous construction systems (RACS) (mostly portable equipment) in terms of intelligent construction systems. The findings also revealed that the greatest obstruction to the use of RACS is the assumption that the construction sector is a mass employer of labor. Accordingly, the study concluded that those that are utilizing RACS primarily embrace it for work efficiency.
