About
Edgar Toriz Palacios is a leading researcher at the intersection of construction engineering, risk management, and autonomous systems. His work focuses on integrating advanced robotics and sensing technologies—particularly 3D Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)—to transform safety and efficiency in the construction industry. His most-cited paper, "New Applications of 3D SLAM on Risk Management Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the Construction Industry" (2018), with 7 citations, pioneers a novel framework that leverages UAV-based SLAM for real-time hazard identification and corporate risk governance. This contribution is notable for bridging the gap between autonomous navigation algorithms and practical construction site monitoring, enabling proactive decision-making to prevent accidents and reduce liabilities. By demonstrating how 3D SLAM can map dynamic environments and detect structural risks, Toriz Palacios has laid foundational work for smart construction safety systems. His research is particularly impactful for students and professionals seeking to understand how robotics, computer vision, and corporate governance converge to create safer, more resilient infrastructure projects.
