Join us for the CEE Faculty Research Webinar on Zoom with Assistant Professor Houtan Jebelli. 

Explore the "Human-Centric Perspective on Construction Automation and the Robotic Revolution" in a research seminar presented by Assistant Professor Houtan Jebelli. Facing numerous challenges like stagnant productivity and unsafe working conditions, the construction industry is ripe for transformative solutions. With the emergence of technologies like artificial intelligence, wearable sensors, advanced robotic systems, and mechatronics, there are new opportunities to address these long-standing issues. Professor Jebelli will share insights from his research focused on innovating and enhancing construction through a human-centric approach. The seminar will highlight two main areas: the development of a worker-centered, data-driven method for continuous health monitoring of construction workers, and the creation of a robotic perception mechanism for safe and efficient human-robot collaboration. Discussions will also include critical lessons learned and future research directions.
