At HumanTech, we are organising a workshop during the European Robotics Forum 2023 on AI and Robotics in Construction.

🗓️ Date and time: 15 March 2023, 11:05-12:25 (GMT+1 / CET)
📍 Location: Odeons Kvarter 1, 5000 Odense C – Odense, Denmark

We are delighted to invite you to the AI and Robotics in Construction workshop we have organised with our sister projects BEEYONDERS and RoBétArmé, also part of the European Commission’s Horizon Europe programme, during the European Robotics Forum 2023 (ERF2023) — the most influential event of the robotics community in Europe.

The workshop will take place on 15 March from 11:05 until 12:25 in Odense, Denmark.

We aim to debate the following key aspects:

  • What are the most critical applications for AI and robotics in construction, and which are the main technological challenges that need to be addressed in this scope?
  • What are the essential benefits of AI and robotics in construction? Is the future full robotic automation or human-robot collaboration?
  • How can construction companies and workers take advantage of the solutions offered by these technologies, and what concrete steps do they need to take in the coming years to do so?

We will discuss the potential benefits of AI and robotics for achieving automation in construction based on the research and development activities we are carrying out at HumanTech, RoBétArmé, and BEEYONDERS. After briefly presenting our three projects, we will address key aspects of this topic: from the benefits and challenges of integrating these technologies into construction sites to their impact on efficiency, waste and emissions reduction and increased safety in the sector.

In addition, partners from industrial projects will share lessons learned and best practices, focusing on the end-users view of AI and robotics in construction. Finally, there will be a panel discussion and feedback rounds with the attendees, where we will delve deeper into the key questions of the workshop.

We will be joined by:

  • Dr. Dimitrios Biliouris, Project Adviser, European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA)
  • Dr. Dimitrios Giakoumis, RoBétArmé project Coordinator
  • Dr. Jason Rambach, HumanTech project Coordinator
  • Antonio Alonso Cepeda, Beeyonders project Coordinator
  • Jonas Bentzen and Mads Essenbaek, Project Manager and Leader, respectively, Christiansen & Essenbæk A/S
  • Fernando Sigchos Jiménez, Secretary General, European Builders Confederation
  • Patrick Roth, New Business and Innovation Manager, Implenia
  • Dr. Bharath Sankaran, CTO & Co-founder, Naska.AI
  • Dr. Gabor Sziebig, Research Manager, SINTEF
  • Mr. José Carlos Jiménez Fernández, Civil Engineer, Tecnalia
  • Dr. Francisco Javier Pérez Grau, Head of Perception and AI, FADA CATEC
