About

Tom Shaked is a researcher and architect working at the intersection of robotic fabrication, autonomous construction, and computational design. His work spans several interconnected domains, including UAV-UGV collaborative systems, adaptive robotic craftsmanship, and geomaterial reconstitution through additive manufacturing, positioning him as a distinctive voice in the emerging field of on-site architectural robotics. Shaked's most influential contribution, "Vision-Based UAV-UGV Collaboration for Autonomous Construction Site Preparation" (2022, 43 citations), demonstrates his capacity to bridge cutting-edge robotics with real-world construction challenges, enabling autonomous multi-robot systems to survey, assess, and prepare complex terrain without human operators. His work on adaptive robotic stone carving (2021, 25 citations) further highlights his interest in embedding material sensitivity and craft intelligence into automated processes — a theme that recurs across his research into autonomous fabrication that honors human sensibility. Shaked consistently advocates for robots that can navigate material uncertainty at architectural and territorial scales, from native soil reconstitution on remote grounds to pedagogical protocols for iterative field fabrication. With over 90 cumulative citations across eight publications, his research offers a compelling vision of autonomous construction systems that are simultaneously technically rigorous and deeply attuned to the nuances of craft and landscape.
