About
Camilla Follini is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and construction automation. Her work focuses on integrating collaborative robotic systems into the unstructured environments of building sites, using BIM as a digital backbone to enable precise, autonomous operations. Her most impactful contribution is the development of BIM-integrated robotic frameworks, as demonstrated in her highly cited 2020 paper (76 citations), which established a methodology for applying robotics in construction logistics and maintenance. Follini also led the creation of BALTO, a mobile robot manipulator designed for autonomous disinfection during the COVID-19 pandemic—a timely innovation that showcased how BIM can guide robots to perform targeted, safe tasks in occupied buildings. Her earlier work includes a novel robotic gripper for automated scaffolding assembly, addressing one of the construction industry’s most hazardous activities. With growing citation impact across her portfolio, Follini is recognized for bridging digital design and physical automation, advancing safer, more efficient construction practices through human-robot collaboration.
