About
Dr. Clara Cheung is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of construction engineering, public health, and robotics. Her work fundamentally reimagines how the built environment can be designed and operated to enhance human safety, particularly in the wake of global health crises. Cheung’s most cited study, "The potential of construction robotics to reduce airborne virus transmission in the UK and China" (2024, 4 citations), is a landmark contribution that systematically identifies and classifies 25 construction robotics across 8 themes, demonstrating their potential to mitigate airborne virus spread on job sites. This work not only maps the technological landscape but critically analyzes the barriers to adoption—such as cost, skills gaps, and regulatory hurdles—drawing lessons from other industries to chart a path forward. By bridging construction management with epidemiological concerns, Cheung has opened a vital new research frontier. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of safe, resilient, and technologically advanced construction practices, offering a clear vision for how robotics can protect workers and the public alike.
