About

Nizar Taha is a researcher at the forefront of construction robotics and digital fabrication, with a particular focus on automated concrete construction technologies. His work centers on developing intelligent robotic systems for concrete spraying, computer vision-based structural detection, and sensor-integrated feedback mechanisms for construction automation. Taha is perhaps best known for his contributions to the development of **Robotic AeroCrete**, a groundbreaking fabrication method that enables the robotic spraying of glass-fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) onto permeable reinforcement meshes, which simultaneously serve as functional formwork during spraying and as structural reinforcement after curing. This innovation opens new possibilities for producing slender, double-curved concrete elements with reduced material waste and labor dependency. This work has collectively attracted nearly 40 citations across multiple publication venues, underscoring its significance to the field. Beyond fabrication, Taha has made notable strides in construction perception, developing depth-camera-based systems for rebar detection and digital reconstruction (13 citations), as well as geometric feedback systems that automate quality inspection of sprayed concrete elements. Together, these contributions position Taha as a key contributor to the emerging intersection of robotics, sensing, and structural engineering in next-generation digital construction.
