About
Dr. Omobolanle Ogunseiju is a leading researcher at the intersection of construction engineering, wearable robotics, and cyber-physical systems. Her work focuses on transforming construction safety and productivity through innovative human-robot interactions and digital twin technologies. Dr. Ogunseiju's seminal paper, "Towards next generation cyber-physical systems and digital twins for construction" (156 citations), has become a foundational reference for integrating smart technologies into construction workflows. She is particularly renowned for her pioneering studies on passive back-support exoskeletons, demonstrating their potential to reduce low back disorders among rebar and concrete workers—a critical contribution given the industry's high rates of musculoskeletal injuries. Her research on "Assessment of a passive wearable robot for reducing low back disorders during rebar work" (63 citations) and subsequent evaluations have provided empirical evidence for exoskeleton efficacy, while her reviews on wearable robotics (29 citations) and human-robotics interactions (14 citations) have shaped the discourse on safety benefits and implementation barriers. Dr. Ogunseiju's recent work extends into ethical considerations and machine learning for cognitive risk assessments, underscoring her commitment to responsible innovation. With over 300 total citations and a rapidly growing portfolio, she is establishing herself as a key voice in making construction safer, smarter, and more sustainable.
