About

Lukman Akanbi is a leading researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and the built environment. His work focuses on transforming the notoriously low-digitization construction industry through intelligent automation and data-driven decision-making. Akanbi’s seminal review, “Artificial intelligence in the construction industry” (2021), has garnered nearly 900 citations, establishing it as a foundational reference for understanding AI’s potential to solve chronic issues like cost overruns, safety risks, and labor shortages. He further explores the barriers to technological uptake in “Robotics and automated systems in construction” (2019), a highly influential study with over 550 citations that identifies industry-specific challenges hindering the adoption of robotic solutions. More recently, Akanbi has extended his expertise into supply chain management, demonstrating how AI and data analytics can optimize complex logistical networks. His body of work not only maps the present state and future opportunities of digital construction but also provides a critical roadmap for overcoming adoption hurdles. For students and researchers, Akanbi’s research is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how AI and robotics can revolutionize one of the world’s least digitized yet most vital industries.
