About

Mariam Tomori is a rising scholar at the intersection of construction engineering, robotics, and human factors. Her research focuses on integrating autonomous and wearable robotic systems into the construction industry to address critical challenges in productivity, workforce safety, and professional development. Tomori’s most-cited work, *A Review of Human-Robotics Interactions in the Construction Industry* (2024, 14 citations), provides a foundational analysis of how robotics can mitigate labor shortages and inefficiencies. She has further advanced the field by leveraging machine learning and wearable sensors for cognitive risk assessments in human-robot interactions, and by investigating the ethical and social risks of wearable robots in construction. Her empirical study on exoskeletons for masons (2025) explores their impact on musculoskeletal disorders, cognitive states, and productivity, offering practical insights for worker well-being. Tomori also examines professional identity development among construction engineering students working with autonomous robots, bridging technical innovation with workforce education. With a growing portfolio of highly topical, interdisciplinary work, Tomori is establishing herself as a key voice in shaping a safer, more productive, and ethically responsible future for construction robotics.
