About
Chika Sukegawa is a researcher at the forefront of digital fabrication and human-robot collaboration in architecture and construction. Her work focuses on bridging traditional craftsmanship with advanced robotic systems, particularly in timber construction. Her key contribution is the development of the "Smart Hand for Digital Twin Timber Work," a novel interactive procedural scanning method that enables industrial arm robots to autonomously capture 3D data of building materials. This system translates the observational expertise of experienced carpenters into intelligent, programmable actions, allowing for real-time digital twinning and adaptive fabrication. By integrating human skill with robotic precision, Sukegawa’s research addresses critical challenges in automating complex, non-standard construction tasks. Her most cited paper (2022) has garnered 2 citations, reflecting its emerging influence in the field of robotic timber construction and digital twin technology. This work represents a significant step toward more responsive, human-centric automation in the built environment, positioning Sukegawa as a key innovator in the intersection of craft, computation, and robotics.
