About
Jung In Kim is an emerging researcher at the forefront of construction robotics and autonomous systems, with a focused body of work examining how artificial intelligence and advanced sensing technologies can transform the built environment industry. Kim's research addresses some of the sector's most pressing challenges — chronic productivity stagnation, elevated injury rates, and persistent labor shortages — by investigating how intelligent machines can operate safely and efficiently on complex construction sites. Kim's major contributions span several interconnected domains: AI-driven autonomous construction robotics analyzed through the Sense–Think–Act framework, autonomous earthwork machinery for constrained urban environments, human-robot and multi-robot collaboration in indoor construction settings, and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technologies tailored to the unique demands of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry. Through rigorous systematic reviews — including screening of nearly 600 records for the earthwork study alone — Kim synthesizes rapidly growing literatures into clear, actionable knowledge frameworks. With 18 citations accumulated across four publications all released in 2025, Kim's early-career trajectory signals considerable promise. Researchers and students exploring construction automation, fleet coordination, and safe human-robot teaming will find Kim's structured, comprehensive reviews an invaluable entry point into this rapidly evolving field.
