About

Julius Sustarevas is a pioneering roboticist at the forefront of autonomous construction, whose work redefines how buildings are fabricated. His primary research areas center on mobile 3D printing, multi-robot construction systems, and agile robotic platforms for on-site deployment. Sustarevas’s major contribution is the development of the **Mobile Agile Printer (MAP)** — a highly agile, four-legged omnidirectional robot capable of 3D printing large structures directly on construction sites, overcoming the dynamic challenges of outdoor environments. This work, published in 2018, has garnered 27 citations and laid the foundation for his subsequent innovations. He further advanced the field with the **YouWasps** system (26 citations), which explores autonomous multi-robot coordination to build structures far exceeding any single robot’s workspace. His 2024 paper on 3D printing for building maintenance and repair (20 citations) highlights the practical transition of mobile robots from factories to existing building contexts, addressing critical barriers. Sustarevas also introduced the concept of **Mobile 3D Printing (M3DP)** — printing-in-motion — enabling scalable, parallelizable, and flexible construction. His work on hybrid path planning for lattice traversal and autonomous robotics in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) practice further demonstrates his impact, with over 96 total citations shaping the future of automated construction.
