About
Michael Sedlmair is a leading researcher at the intersection of digital timber construction, human-robot collaboration (HRC), and extended reality (XR). His work reimagines the timber prefabrication industry by developing systems where human craft and robotic precision operate as equal partners. Sedlmair’s major contributions include pioneering augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) interfaces that enable safe, intuitive collaboration between multiple human workers and industrial robots. His 2024 paper on HRC challenges in timber prefabrication has already garnered 33 citations, reflecting the field’s urgent need for his insights. He has also designed and evaluated multi-user AR systems for collaborative fabrication, as well as VR simulators for training and safety in robotic tasks. Sedlmair’s research is notable for its practical, user-centered approach—conducting exploratory studies with industry professionals to ensure real-world viability. By addressing scalability from lightweight robots to full-scale construction, his work is shaping the future of sustainable, flexible, and human-centric automation in architecture and building.
