About
Daobo Zhang is a leading researcher at the forefront of digital construction and robotic fabrication, with a primary focus on advancing 3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology to address critical labor shortages in the global construction industry. His most influential work, the 2022 paper "Toward automated construction: The design-to-printing workflow for a robotic in-situ 3D printed house," has garnered 56 citations and represents a landmark contribution to the field. In this study, Zhang pioneered a comprehensive design-to-printing workflow that enables the robotic in-situ construction of full-scale houses, tackling the fundamental challenges of layered extrusion and rapid solidification that define 3DCP. By demonstrating a practical, automated pathway from digital design to physical construction, his research bridges the gap between experimental printing techniques and real-world building applications. Zhang’s work is instrumental in transforming the construction industry through digital automation, offering a viable solution to reduce manual labor dependency while increasing efficiency and precision. His contributions continue to shape the future of automated building technologies, inspiring both academic research and industrial adoption of robotic construction methods.
