About

A V Malakhov is a researcher specializing in construction robotics and automation, with a particular focus on mobile bricklaying robotic systems and their practical integration into the construction industry. His work sits at the intersection of robotics engineering, construction technology, and economic efficiency analysis, addressing one of the most labor-intensive sectors of the built environment. Malakhov's most significant contributions include developing trajectory planning and movement algorithms for mobile bricklaying robots navigating complex construction sites — a problem he has framed as a novel variant of maze-solving challenges. His comparative analyses of robotic versus manual bricklaying have provided quantitative evidence for the productivity gains achievable through automation, while his economic modeling frameworks help practitioners evaluate the profitability and adaptability of robotic systems before deployment. With cumulative citations approaching 40 across his key works, Malakhov has established himself as a consistent voice in construction automation discourse. His 2020 paper on robotic effectiveness is his most recognized contribution, followed closely by his algorithmic work. Notably, he has also examined mobile bricklaying robots through the lens of "breakthrough technology," exploring the conditions under which robotic systems can achieve deep industrial integration rather than remaining niche solutions — a perspective valuable to both engineers and construction economists.
