About

Ningshuang Zeng is an emerging researcher at the intersection of construction management, robotics, and automation, with a particular focus on how advanced technologies can transform the built environment industry. Her work addresses some of the most pressing challenges in modern construction, including the deployment of legged robots for navigating complex construction terrain, the safe integration of human-robot collaboration (HRC) on active job sites, and the automation of supply chain coordination through smart contracts and robotic process automation. Zeng's research is notably human-centric, emphasizing not only technological capability but also worker safety, operational barriers, and practical implementation challenges that prevent wider industry adoption. Her 2025 review on human-robot collaboration safety has already garnered attention, reflecting growing academic interest in this critical area. With her most-cited work accumulating recognition across construction robotics, supply chain innovation, and collaborative automation, Zeng is positioning herself as a significant voice in construction 4.0 discourse. Her research offers students and practitioners alike a rigorous, forward-looking framework for understanding how intelligent systems can be responsibly integrated into one of the world's most complex and hazard-prone industries.
