About
Ayodeji Emmanuel Oke is a prolific construction technology researcher whose work sits at the intersection of digital innovation, automation, and sustainable construction practice. With a particular focus on robotics, automation, and Construction 4.0 technologies, Oke has established himself as a leading voice examining how emerging technologies can transform construction industries in developing countries, especially within the Nigerian and South African contexts. His most influential contribution, "Appraisal of stakeholders' willingness to adopt construction 4.0 technologies" (2020, 120 citations), investigates professional readiness for digital transformation, while his highly cited mapping study on robotics and automation research (2019, 104 citations) provided the field with a critical bibliometric foundation for future inquiry. Together, these works have shaped how researchers and practitioners conceptualize technology adoption in construction. Oke's research consistently addresses real-world implementation challenges, identifying barriers, modeling adoption pathways, and proposing strategic interventions — particularly for resource-constrained developing economies. His use of structural equation modeling and mixed-method approaches demonstrates methodological rigor across his body of work. Collectively accumulating over 380 citations, Oke's scholarship makes a compelling case for sustainable, technology-driven construction and offers actionable frameworks for industry stakeholders seeking to modernize project delivery.
