About

Gido Dielemans is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, additive manufacturing, and construction technology, with a particular focus on mobile robotic systems for building construction, maintenance, and repair. His work addresses one of the field's most pressing challenges: translating the precision of factory-based fabrication to the unpredictable, large-scale environments of real construction sites. Dielemans's most influential contribution, "Additive Manufacturing using mobile robots: Opportunities and challenges for building construction" (2022, 109 citations), established a foundational framework for understanding how mobile robots can overcome the workspace limitations of stationary systems. His subsequent research has pushed these boundaries further, exploring autonomous localization, clay formwork for bespoke concrete construction, and in-place robotic repair of building components — a frontier with significant implications for sustainable infrastructure maintenance. Perhaps most striking is his "Robotic Knitcrete" project (2023, 17 citations), which elegantly combined computational design with robotic shotcrete applied to 3D-knitted formwork, producing a pedestrian bridge that exemplifies how digital fabrication can transcend traditional construction constraints. With a growing citation record and consistently innovative projects, Dielemans represents an exciting voice shaping the future of automated, adaptive construction.
