About

Natalia Buzalo is a pioneering researcher in the automation of construction processes, with a primary focus on the development and control of construction robots for interior finishing works. Her most significant contribution lies in the mathematical modeling and optimization of robotic systems for plastering, as detailed in her highly cited 2018 paper. In this work, she established foundational methods for the mathematical description of plaster robots, developed information support systems, and synthesized control laws to automate plastering tasks—a critical step toward reducing manual labor and increasing precision on construction sites. Her paper has garnered 10 citations, reflecting its importance in the emerging field of construction robotics. Buzalo has also contributed to the critical area of safety and facility maintenance, co-authoring a 2020 study that outlines essential requirements for the safe operation of construction robots. This work, presented at the prestigious 37th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (ISARC), underscores her commitment to ensuring that automation advances are paired with robust safety protocols. Through her research, Buzalo is helping to shape a future where robots work alongside humans in the built environment, making construction safer, more efficient, and more reliable.
