About
Semiha Ergan is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, building energy efficiency, and advanced sensing technologies. Her work focuses on developing intelligent systems that enhance the performance and safety of built environments. A key contribution is her conceptual design of a robotic building envelope assessment system, which automates the inspection of facades for energy efficiency—a critical step toward reducing operational energy waste in existing structures. This work, published in 2021, has garnered early recognition with 4 citations, signaling its growing influence in the field of construction robotics. Ergan has also made notable strides in through-wall sensing, co-authoring a 2019 study on object recognition and pose estimation that enables robots to perceive obstacles and objects behind walls. This capability is vital for autonomous navigation in complex, cluttered spaces, such as disaster zones or construction sites. With these contributions, Ergan is shaping a future where robots can assess, repair, and navigate our buildings with unprecedented autonomy, directly impacting energy conservation and operational safety. Her research continues to push the boundaries of what robotic systems can achieve in the built environment.
