About
Roman Gerbers is a researcher whose work spans two compelling and increasingly influential domains: robotic additive manufacturing for construction and human-robot collaboration (HRC) in industrial settings. His pioneering contributions to concrete 3D printing have helped reshape how the construction industry approaches complex, formwork-free structures. His 2016 paper introducing robotic spray technology for generative concrete manufacturing has garnered 96 citations, while his subsequent development of Shotcrete 3D-Printing (SC3DP) technology — enabling reinforced freeform concrete structures — has attracted 83 citations, cementing his standing as a key figure in construction automation. Equally significant is Gerbers' research into safe and flexible human-robot collaboration. His work on simulation platforms for assessing HRC system safety prior to commissioning, alongside practical applications such as lithium-ion battery disassembly and sensor-integrated collaborative robots, demonstrates a strong commitment to making automation both accessible and safe in real-world manufacturing environments. His contributions extend further into CAM software frameworks for multi-axis additive manufacturing and scalable lightweight production processes, reflecting a broad, systems-level perspective on flexible manufacturing. With a publication record spanning construction robotics, industrial automation, and advanced manufacturing methodologies, Gerbers' research has collectively shaped how engineers approach digital fabrication across multiple industries.
