About

Saleh Abu Dabous is a civil engineering researcher whose work sits at the intersection of construction automation, digital fabrication, and sustainable infrastructure. His key research areas include robotic 3D printing in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, as well as the integration of robotic assistance for traditional construction tasks like masonry. In his most-cited paper, "Classification of robotic 3D printers in the AEC industry" (2021, 4 citations), he provides a foundational taxonomy that helps researchers and practitioners navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of additive manufacturing technologies. More recently, his study "Multi-stakeholder perspectives on robotic assistance for masonry construction: insights and lessons from the UAE" (2025, 1 citation) offers rare, on-the-ground insights from a high-income, rapidly developing region, highlighting the practical barriers and stakeholder concerns that often hinder the adoption of construction robotics. By bridging the gap between technical classification and real-world implementation, Abu Dabous’s work is shaping how the construction industry approaches automation, making it more accessible and context-aware for future applications.
