Automation and robotics in the Industrialised Building System (IBS) hold much promise for the Malaysian construction industry to move towards the fourth industrial revolution. Previous studies lacked in-depth exploration of stakeholder perception for measuring automation and robotics success within the industry. This paper examined the stakeholder perception of success criteria for measuring automation and robotics in IBS. The study was conducted through a questionnaire survey with wide-ranging IBS stakeholder that yielded two-hundred and one (201) effective response. A total of nineteen (19) success criteria for measuring automation and robotics in IBS were analysed through exploratory factor analysis, mean score and ANOVA. The findings reveal that reduce construction time, reduce production time, reduce waste, reduce material consumption, and improved occupational safety and health are the most important criteria for measuring automation and robotics in IBS. This paper contributes to the literature of automation and robotics in IBS and providing new insights for future research and development.
