About
Mert Oytun is a rising scholar at the intersection of construction engineering and robotics, whose work is shaping how humans and machines collaborate on the built environment. His primary research areas include human-robot interaction (HRI), construction automation, and the development of taxonomies for complex socio-technical systems. His most cited work, "A multidimensional taxonomy for human-robot interaction in construction" (2023, 45 citations), provides a foundational framework for categorizing and analyzing the diverse ways humans and robots work together on construction sites—from teleoperation to full autonomy. This contribution is critical for designers and project managers seeking to integrate robotics safely and effectively. By mapping the dimensions of interaction, Oytun’s taxonomy helps standardize future research and practice, enabling more predictable and efficient collaboration. His work is notable for bridging the gap between theoretical HRI models and the unique, unstructured demands of construction environments. With his growing citation impact, Oytun is establishing himself as a key voice in the push toward smarter, safer, and more automated construction processes.
