About

Zhen Peng Peng is a leading researcher in the field of construction automation, with a primary focus on the evaluation and advancement of welding robotic technologies for building steel structures. His major contributions lie in developing sophisticated maturity evaluation models that bridge the gap between theoretical robotics and practical engineering applications in China. Peng pioneered the use of multi-level gray theory combined with combination weighting methods to create robust assessment frameworks for welding robotics application maturity. His most cited work, "Application maturity evaluation of building steel structure welding robotic technology based on multi-level gray theory" (2023, 5 citations), established a foundational model tailored to the specific characteristics of Chinese engineering projects. He further refined this approach in a subsequent paper (2023, 2 citations), addressing the growing need for automation as domestic steel structures evolve toward "big, special, and new" configurations. Peng's research directly confronts the limitations of manual welding in complex construction environments, providing industry stakeholders with quantitative tools to assess technological readiness and guide investment in robotic solutions. His work is particularly notable for its practical orientation, offering actionable evaluation criteria that support China's national push toward advanced steel structure construction.
