About
Lewen Zou is a rising researcher at the forefront of construction safety and human-robot interaction (HRI). Her work centers on the critical challenge of assessing and mitigating risks posed by workers' unsafe behaviors when collaborating with robots on dynamic construction sites. In her most-cited paper, "Coupled Risk Assessment of Construction Workers Unsafe Behaviors in Human-Robot Interactions" (2024, 3 citations), Zou and her colleagues introduce a novel framework that integrates behavioral analysis with real-time risk evaluation, addressing a gap in traditional safety models that treat humans and machines in isolation. This contribution is particularly timely as the construction industry increasingly adopts automation and robotics. While still early in her career, Zou’s research has already garnered attention for its practical implications, offering a pathway to safer, more efficient human-robot teams. Her work not only advances academic understanding of HRI safety but also provides actionable insights for industry practitioners. As the field of construction robotics grows, Zou’s focus on coupled risk assessment positions her as a key voice in shaping safer, smarter worksites for the future.
