About
Carmen Marcher is a leading researcher at the intersection of construction robotics and digital building information. Her work focuses on integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) with robotic systems to solve critical challenges in construction logistics, maintenance, and public health. Marcher’s most influential contribution is her pioneering framework for BIM-integrated collaborative robotics, detailed in her 2020 paper (76 citations), which addresses the fundamental problem of deploying robots in unstructured construction sites by using BIM as a real-time spatial and semantic guide. She extended this concept in her work on the Robot Operating System (ROS) combined with BIM for construction logistics (24 citations). Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Marcher led the development of BALTO—a BIM-integrated mobile robot manipulator for precise, autonomous disinfection in buildings (10 citations), demonstrating rapid, real-world impact. She has also designed decision-support systems to help construction firms evaluate and adopt robotic equipment (5 citations). Through her research, Marcher is helping to transform the traditionally low-productivity construction sector into a safer, more efficient, and technologically advanced industry.
