We are glad to participate in the 19th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Its Social Impacts (ARSO 2023) with a session on “Human Factors in Construction Robotics”, where we will demonstrate highlights of our ongoing research activities.

🗓️ Date and time: 6 June 2023, 14:15 – 15:15 (GMT+1 / CET)
📍 Location: Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA), Nöldnerstraße 40-42, 10317 Berlin, Germany

Human Factors in Construction Robotics

In recent years, the use of robots on construction sites is gaining wider acceptance and becoming more widespread.

We invite you to learn about the recent advances in construction robotics with a special focus on human factors, as well as our ongoing research activities on human-robot collaboration and the use of exoskeletons in this special session, where our partners from DFKI, SINTEF, BAuA, STAM, and TECNALIA will be present.

The topics we will discuss include (but are not limited to):

  • Construction robotics
  • Teleoperation
  • Simulation of construction processes
  • Human-robot collaboration
  • Planning of construction processes
  • Evaluation of interaction

HumanTech’s Project Coordinator Jason Rambach, a Senior Researcher and Team Leader in Spatial Sensing and Machine Perception at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), and our partner Gabor Sziebig, Research Manager at SINTEF, are organising this session together with Mihoko Niitsuma, Professor at Chuo University.

Apart from Jason, our colleague Patricia Rosen, Research Scientist at the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) will make the presentations:

  • Serena Ivaldi – Teleoperating a robot for removing asbestos tiles on roofs: Insights from a pilot study
  • Jason Rambach – Machine perception for human-robot handover scenarios in construction
  • Patricia Helen Rosen – Design recommendations for construction robots – a human-centred perspective
  • Dimitrios Giakoumis – Designing human-robot interaction interfaces for shotcrete construction robots; the RobetArme project case
