About
Lukas Lachmayer is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, additive manufacturing, and construction engineering, with a particular focus on mobile robotic systems for large-scale 3D printing in built environments. His work has fundamentally advanced the application of concrete-based additive manufacturing — most notably Shotcrete 3D Printing (SC3DP) — by addressing critical challenges in process control, material behavior, and autonomous robot navigation on dynamic construction sites. Lachmayer's most cited contribution, "Additive Manufacturing using mobile robots: Opportunities and challenges for building construction" (2022, 109 citations), established a comprehensive framework for deploying mobile robots beyond factory constraints, opening new possibilities for on-site fabrication. His subsequent research has tackled precise contour tracking, volume flow-based process control, and autonomous localization — essential capabilities for reliable large-scale printing. Notably, he has explored innovative applications including clay formwork for bespoke concrete construction and 3D printing for building maintenance and repair, demonstrating remarkable breadth. With over 230 cumulative citations and contributions spanning process modeling, multi-model automation frameworks, and structurally optimized printed components, Lachmayer's research is shaping the future of digitally integrated, sustainable construction — making him an essential reference for anyone exploring robotic fabrication in architecture and civil engineering.
