About

Hiroatsu Fukuda is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotic construction, digital design, and sustainable wooden architecture. His work addresses critical challenges in the construction industry—labor shortages, low productivity, and environmental sustainability—by pioneering automated building methods that integrate human–robot collaboration. Fukuda’s most cited paper (2023, 27 citations) introduces the iSMART wooden arch system, demonstrating how integrated robotic construction and digital design can transform timber building practices. He has also developed a didactic pedagogical framework for sustainable architectural education through robotic tectonics (2020, 17 citations), bridging cutting-edge research with classroom learning. Using tripartite evolutionary game analysis (2022, 12 citations), Fukuda models the incentives driving innovation in robotics and automated construction, offering strategic insights for industry adoption. His comparative studies of manual versus robotic wooden construction (2020–2022) provide rigorous performance evaluations, showing that robotic processes improve both efficiency and accuracy. With a growing body of work that spans mobile robots, complex timber structures, and standardized building components, Fukuda is shaping a future where construction is smarter, greener, and more automated.
