Abstract Conventional method of PHC pile head cutting work has several challenges with regard to safety, convenience, productivity, and quality. To address such problems, a prototype of the all-in-one attachment-based PHC pile cutting robot is developed(Yeom, 2018). The Primary objective of this study are to develop a final prototype of all-in-one attachment-based PHC pile cutting robot and to analyze technical feasibility and field applicability of final prototype. According to the technical feasibility and field applicability analysis result, at least 74.2% of the respondents are selected positive answer about technical feasibility of the final prototype, at least 66.6% of the respondents are selected positive answer about field applicability of the final prototype. It is expected that when deployed onsite, the final prototype can not only increase the practical use but also improvement the work safety and productivity of work at the PHC pile head cutting job site.
