How are we addressing the most important challenges in the construction industry today? How will our technologies help accelerate the sector’s green and digital transformation? What positive impact will they have on the day-to-day lives of construction workers? How will our educational resources help professionals learn about them? Why is it necessary to conceive technological advances with a human-centred perspective? What will our pilots consist of and how will they feed into our projects’ technical developments?

One year after HumanTech started and having seen our first promising technical results, we wanted to know our partners’ views on these and other key aspects to understand our project. So, we interviewed them at our last General Assembly Meeting in Oslo.

Jason Rambach, HumanTech Project Coordinator: What is HumanTech?

For this series’ first interview, we spoke with our 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).

He told us about our project’s focus, “to improve construction for its workers and society as a whole”, and our multidisciplinary team, consisting of “research institutes, construction companies, and innovative SMEs”.

Also, he explained our solutions — from exoskeletons to collaborative robots and progress monitoring tools —, combining computer vision and 3D semantic segmentation with BIM modelling to address construction workers’ safety and well-being as well as environmental sustainability and efficiency in the building sector.
