HOIST: Humanoid Optimization with Imitation and Sample-Efficient Tuning for Manipulating Suspended Loads
Combining VR demonstrations, vision-language-action policies, and reinforcement learning to guide suspended loads with a humanoid robot.
Learning Slope-Adaptive Whole-Body Locomotion for Humanoid Robots in Roofing Construction
Learning coordinated slope traversal, working postures, and tool positioning from human roofing demonstrations.
Advancing Construction Machine Autonomy on Earth and Beyond
Teleoperation, keyframe learning, and visual goals that turn operator demonstrations into robot excavation skills.
Toward Agentic Robot Foremen
Agentic robots that extend construction supervision through field guidance, quality assessment, and reporting under human control.
BIM-Guided Robotic Alignment
Aligning robots with building designs through BIM-based workface projection and learned visual feedback.
BIM-driven laser spatial augmented reality for in-situ layout and assembly
A low-cost, open-source laser projection system that projects BIM-derived layouts onto physical surfaces.
Robot-Aware Design and Assembly of Architected Structures
Co-designing architected structures, assembly-aware structural interfaces, and robotic construction for diverse engineering environments.
Robotic Localization via Active Projected Fiducials for Space Construction
Projecting identifiable points onto uneven terrain and using their known 3D positions to help a robot locate itself.
Learning-Based Subsurface Infrastructure Mapping
Combining ground-penetrating radar, deep learning, and visual mapping to detect buried pipes and locate them within the physical site.
