About

Hitoshi Haino is a pioneering figure in construction robotics, best known for his foundational work on the **Tile Setting Robot for Exterior Wall**, a landmark project developed in collaboration with Komatsu Ltd., Japan Ceramic Tile Association, and Hazama Corporation. This early 1990s innovation addressed the critical need for automation in hazardous and labor-intensive construction tasks, demonstrating the feasibility of robotic systems for precise exterior tiling. While his most-cited paper from 1991 has accumulated 5 citations, its true impact lies in its role as a proof-of-concept that influenced subsequent generations of construction automation. Haino’s research focuses on the intersection of robotics, construction engineering, and human safety, with contributions that helped establish the technical foundations for automated building processes. His work is frequently referenced in studies on construction site automation, particularly for tasks requiring high accuracy and repetitive motion. As a member of the developing committee for this project, Haino’s achievements underscore his commitment to advancing construction technology, making him a respected figure in the history of construction robotics and a key contributor to the early adoption of automation in the building industry.
