Projects

The ReAC project mobilizes recent advances in AI and robotics towards the concept of robotically supported cooperative construction. Through qualitative engagements with construction practices on sites and modular factories, and technical research into reinforcement learning and robotics, the project aims to create robot in the loop systems that enhance and interact safely and adaptively with construction workers in both construction sites and modular factories.
