About

J. Zeiher is a pioneering researcher in construction robotics, with a focus on automating traditional masonry and plastering processes. Their work bridges mechanical engineering and on-site construction, aiming to enhance efficiency and precision in building tasks. Zeiher’s major contributions include the development of a mobile bricklaying robot, as detailed in their 2002 paper “A mobile robot for on-site construction of masonry” (23 citations), which describes converting a commercial construction machine into an automated system for masonry manufacturing. This research demonstrates a practical, application-oriented approach to integrating robotics into real-world construction environments. Additionally, Zeiher co-authored “On-Site Mobile Plastering Robot: A Practical Design Concept” (1997, 12 citations), presenting foundational concepts for a mobile plastering robot that addresses the challenges of on-site automation. While citation counts are modest, these works are notable for their early and influential contributions to the field of construction robotics, offering blueprints for robotic systems that operate directly on construction sites. Zeiher’s research is particularly valuable for students and engineers interested in the intersection of robotics, automation, and civil engineering, showcasing how mobile robots can transform labor-intensive tasks into efficient, automated processes.
