About

Patricia Fadamiro is a rising voice in construction technology, focusing on the critical gap between innovation and real-world adoption in developing economies. Her research zeroes in on the barriers and strategies for implementing robotics and automation within the construction industry, particularly in Nigeria. Her most-cited work, "Robotics and automation for sustainable construction: microscoping the barriers to implementation" (2023, 36 citations), systematically identifies the financial, technical, and institutional obstacles that stall progress in these regions. Complementing this, her study "Unpacking the strategies to promote the implementation of automation techniques in the construction industry" (2023, 14 citations) provides a pragmatic, mixed-method roadmap for overcoming these hurdles. By centering her analysis on the Nigerian context, Fadamiro offers actionable insights for policymakers and practitioners, challenging the one-size-fits-all approach to construction automation. Her work is essential for students and researchers interested in sustainable infrastructure, technology transfer, and the socio-technical dynamics of construction in the Global South.
