About

Lauri Koskela is a pioneering figure in construction robotics and automation, whose early work laid the groundwork for integrating advanced technologies into the built environment. His research primarily focuses on the feasibility and development of robotic systems for construction tasks, including mobile tile cladding robots and 3-D measurement systems for robotization. Koskela’s major contributions include co-authoring foundational studies on the viability of construction robotics in Finland and Norway, as well as designing and evaluating a mobile tile cladding robot test system that demonstrated the potential for automated interior finishing. His work on 3-D measurements addressed critical challenges in spatial accuracy for construction robots, enabling more precise and efficient operations. While his citation counts—ranging from 3 to 9 for his most-cited papers—reflect the niche and early-stage nature of this field, his research has been instrumental in shaping subsequent innovations in construction automation. Koskela’s achievements include presenting at key international symposia (ISARC) and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to advance robotic applications in construction, marking him as a visionary in the ongoing digital transformation of the industry.
