Zero-shot adaptable task planning for autonomous construction robots: a comparative study of lightweight single and multi-AI agent systems
Hossein Naderi, Alireza Shojaei, Lifu Huang +3
Robots are expected to play a major role in the future construction industry but face challenges due to high costs and difficulty adapting to dynamic tasks. This study explores the…
Impact of Robot Facial-Audio Expressions on Human Robot Trust Dynamics and Trust Repair
Hossein Naderi, Alireza Shojaei, Philip Agee +2
Despite recent advances in robotics and human-robot collaboration in the AEC industry, trust has mostly been treated as a static factor, with little guidance on how it changes acro…
Autonomous Construction-Site Safety Inspection Using Mobile Robots: A Multilayer VLM-LLM Pipeline
Hossein Naderi, Alireza Shojaei, Philip Agee +2
Construction safety inspection remains mostly manual, and automated approaches still rely on task-specific datasets that are hard to maintain in fast-changing construction environm…
Natural Interaction Modalities for Human-CPS Interaction in Construction Progress Monitoring
Srijeet Halder, Kereshmeh Afsari, Alireza Shojaei
This article explores natural interaction modalities for human-cyber-physical systems (CPS) interaction in construction. CPS has been applied in construction for many purposes with…
