Research
Advancing the science of autonomous construction
Our research spans machine learning, computer vision, robotics, and systems engineering. We publish our findings and contribute to the broader scientific community.
Neural Frameworks
We develop deep learning architectures optimized for real-time decision making in dynamic construction environments. Our models are designed to handle uncertainty, adapt to changing conditions, and make safe decisions under time pressure.
Key Research Topics
Computer Vision
Our perception systems understand spatial relationships, material properties, and assembly sequences in real-time. We combine multiple sensor modalities to build robust representations of the construction environment.
Key Research Topics
Edge Computing
We build distributed inference pipelines that operate reliably in harsh job site conditions with minimal latency. Our systems are designed for power efficiency while maintaining the performance needed for real-time operation.
Key Research Topics
Robotic Control
Our motion planning and manipulation algorithms enable precise, safe interaction with construction materials. We develop controllers that can handle the variability and uncertainty inherent in real-world construction tasks.
