About

Qianqian Yao is a forward-thinking researcher at the forefront of intelligent construction, with a primary focus on the evaluation and deployment of construction robots. Her work addresses a critical gap in the industry: the lack of standardized frameworks to assess the capabilities and readiness of robotic systems in construction environments. In her most-cited paper, "Evaluating framework for the capability of construction robots" (2025), Yao introduces a novel, systematic tool designed to measure robot progression, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions about technology adoption. This contribution is pivotal in reducing uncertainty and accelerating the integration of automation into construction practices. While her citation count is still growing, reflecting the emerging nature of her field, Yao’s work has already garnered attention for its practical relevance and potential to shape industry standards. Her research bridges robotics, civil engineering, and project management, offering a clear pathway for evaluating robotic performance. As the construction sector increasingly turns to automation, Qianqian Yao’s framework stands as a foundational resource for researchers, engineers, and policymakers seeking to navigate the future of intelligent building.
