Design/methodology/approach: Robotics implementation barriers were obtained from the previous studies and then through questionnaire survey construction stakeholders in Nigeria evaluate these barriers. Consequently, these barriers were examined via the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) technique. Furthermore, a model of these barriers was implemented by means of a partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Findings: The EFA results showed that these barriers could be categorized into two: cost and technology. Results obtained from the proposed model showed that platform tools were crucial tools for implementing cloud computing. Originality/value: The novelty of this research work will be provided a solid foundation for critically assessing and appreciating the different barriers affecting the adoption of robotics. © 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited. date: 2024 publisher: Emerald Publishing official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85118411035&doi=10.1108%2fIJBPA-06-2021-0093&partnerID=40&md5=636f44b66d9de57edc0ec576454a228c id_number: 10.1108/IJBPA-06-2021-0093 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation volume: 42 number: 3 pagerange: 386-409 refereed: TRUE issn: 23984708 citation: Oke, A.E. and Kineber, A.F. and Albukhari, I. and Dada, A.J.
