About
Yi Leng is an emerging researcher specializing in robotic construction, human-robot interaction, and the automation of timber and wooden structure building methods. With a focus on addressing the construction industry's persistent challenges — including labor shortages, low productivity, and poor environmental sustainability — Leng's work bridges digital design, robotic systems, and structural engineering to pioneer innovative solutions for modern construction. Leng's most significant contribution is the development of the iSMART wooden arch system, an integrated framework combining robotic construction with digital design workflows for human-robot collaborative building environments, which has garnered 27 citations since its 2023 publication. Alongside this, Leng has investigated the economic and policy dimensions of construction automation, employing tripartite evolutionary game theory to model innovation incentives for robotic and automated construction (RAAC) technologies (12 citations). Additional research has evaluated robot performance in timber construction processes and explored the deployment of mobile robots and standardized timber components in complex structural applications. Collectively, Leng's body of work, accumulating over 57 citations, reflects a multidisciplinary commitment to transforming traditional construction paradigms through intelligent automation, offering valuable insights for researchers, engineers, and policymakers invested in the future of sustainable, technology-driven building practices.
