2. 2.

   Name one benefit of using drones in civil engineering.

   Hint

   Consider efficiency compared to manual methods.

3. 3.

   What do surveying robots primarily replace?

   • Manual surveying methods
   • Heavy machinery
   • Construction workers

   Hint

   Consider who traditionally performs surveying.

4. 4.
