About
Hitoshi Miyamoto is a pioneering figure in construction automation, with his research centered on the development of robotic systems for hazardous building tasks. His most notable contribution is the creation of a system capable of spraying fireproof covering materials, a breakthrough that directly addressed critical safety and efficiency challenges in high-rise construction. This work, presented at the 9th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (ISARC) in 1992, demonstrated a practical approach to automating a traditionally dangerous manual process. While his highly specialized paper has accumulated 3 citations, its true impact lies in its foundational role within the niche field of construction robotics. Miyamoto’s research, conducted alongside collaborators Yukihiro Watanabe, Shoichi Morimoto, and others, represents an early and important step toward promoting the use of automated systems to protect workers from hazardous environments. For students and researchers in construction engineering and robotics, Miyamoto’s work serves as a key reference point for understanding the origins of automated fireproofing technology and the ongoing efforts to integrate robotics into the construction industry for enhanced safety and productivity.
