About
Nicholas Hanna is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-building interaction, robotics, and augmented reality (AR), with a focus on transforming how we maintain and sustain indoor environments. His most-cited work, “Indoor Infrastructure Maintenance Framework Using Networked Sensors, Robots, and Augmented Reality Human Interface” (2024, 7 citations), introduces a groundbreaking framework that integrates networked sensors, autonomous robots, and AR interfaces to enable homeowners and technicians to detect, interpret, and act on signals of damage, decay, and pest infestation. This work directly addresses the cognitive process of maintenance, showing how human perception and robotic sensing can synergize to improve building sustainability and resilience. Hanna’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between human intuition and machine precision, offering scalable solutions for proactive infrastructure care. His research has implications for smart buildings, aging-in-place technologies, and disaster mitigation, earning recognition for its practical, interdisciplinary approach. As a rising voice in cyber-physical systems, Hanna continues to shape how we think about the built environment as a living, responsive entity.
