About

Dr. Marc Wenner is pioneering the integration of robotics and structural health monitoring (SHM), with a focus on using quadruped robots for mobile infrastructure assessment. His most-cited work, “Mobile structural health monitoring using quadruped robots” (2022, 6 citations), addresses the critical challenge of aging infrastructure by proposing a novel framework that leverages legged robots to access hard-to-reach areas, overcoming the limitations of traditional stationary sensor networks. This contribution bridges robotics and civil engineering, enabling more flexible, cost-effective, and continuous monitoring of bridges, buildings, and other structures. Wenner’s research is particularly timely as it aligns with the growing demand for smart, autonomous inspection systems that can reduce human risk and improve data collection in hazardous environments. While his citation count is still building, his work represents a forward-looking shift in SHM, emphasizing mobility and adaptability. For students and researchers, Wenner’s approach highlights the potential of cross-disciplinary innovation, showing how robotics can transform legacy fields like infrastructure monitoring into dynamic, data-rich domains.
