Expertise: I am currently working on Building a Prototype Roofing robot. I am also interested in Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its integration into the construction industry. The vision for BIM is that all aspects of building design, construction, commissioning, and lifecycle for a building will be contained in a 3-D data base. For my dissertation I wrote a Visual Basic program to record and analyze energy use in construction with the hope of integrating this in to the BIM software systems. I have also been researching the possibility of using the information in BIM to program robotic machines to perform construction tasks. I believe that in the future, BIM can be integrated with building construction robots. I plan to integrate the prototype roofing robot with BIM information to direct the robot’s tasks.
