About
Jan Kortmann is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of construction engineering and robotics, exploring how automation can reshape the built environment. His work centers on the status quo of construction robotics, critically assessing the potentials, applications, and challenges of integrating robotic systems into traditional building processes. In his most-cited paper, "Status Quo of Construction Robotics: Potentials, Applications and Challenges" (2023), Kortmann provides a comprehensive overview of the field, identifying key barriers to adoption—such as cost, safety, and workforce adaptation—while highlighting transformative opportunities in automation, prefabrication, and on-site robotics. Though early in his career, his synthesis of technical feasibility with real-world constraints offers a valuable roadmap for researchers and practitioners alike. Kortmann’s contributions are especially relevant as the construction industry seeks to address labor shortages and productivity stagnation. With a growing citation footprint, his work is becoming a touchstone for those exploring the intersection of robotics, sustainability, and construction innovation.
