About

Dr Kerry London is a leading researcher in construction innovation, digital transformation, and sustainable built environments. Her work sits at the intersection of Industry 4.0 technologies and the construction sector, with a particular focus on human-robot collaboration and circular economy principles. In her highly cited 2020 paper "CoBuilt 4.0," she pioneered the investigation of collaborative robotics (CoBots) for subject matter experts in construction, demonstrating how human-robot interactions can offer new pathways for industrial growth and skilled labour. This work has garnered 25 citations and is foundational to understanding the socio-technical implications of automation in construction. More recently, her 2021 research on transforming construction waste analytics addresses the critical challenge of carbon footprint reduction, exploring how Building Information Modelling (BIM), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), drones, and 3D printing can enable a circular economy. Dr London’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging cutting-edge digital technologies with practical, on-the-ground challenges in the construction industry, making her work essential reading for researchers and practitioners alike who are seeking to understand how the fourth industrial revolution can reshape the built environment sustainably.
