About

Mikita Miyaguchi is a pioneering researcher in construction automation and robotics, with a primary focus on developing intelligent robotic systems to address Japan’s critical shortage of construction workers. His most influential work centers on automated mobile marking robots for construction sites, where he has made significant contributions to improving productivity in the building material marking process—a task traditionally performed manually. His landmark 2019 paper, “Mobile robot for marking free access floors at construction sites,” has garnered 42 citations, establishing it as a foundational reference in the field. Miyaguchi has further advanced this technology by integrating reflectorless three-dimensional measuring instruments to enhance system accuracy and reliability. Beyond marking automation, he has expanded his research to include crawler-type mobile robots for automatic embankment inspection, demonstrating the versatility of his approach to construction site challenges. His recent work on the “Smart Hand for Digital Twin Timber Work” represents an innovative leap forward, combining industrial arm robots with interactive procedural scanning to translate the observational skills of experienced carpenters into automated, intelligent systems. Through these contributions, Miyaguchi is helping to shape the future of construction through robotics and digital twin technologies.
