About
Somin Park is an emerging research leader at the intersection of human-robot collaboration (HRC), natural language processing, and construction technology. Her work addresses one of the construction industry's most pressing challenges: integrating robotic assistants into complex, unstructured field environments while ensuring seamless, intuitive communication between human workers and machines. Park's most cited contribution, "A Comprehensive Evaluation of Factors Influencing Acceptance of Robotic Assistants in Field Construction Work" (2023, 57 citations), examines the human and organizational barriers to HRC adoption, offering actionable insights for improving worker buy-in. Building on this foundation, her subsequent research has pioneered natural language interfaces for construction robotics, including work leveraging large language models within multimodal virtual reality environments (2024, 46 citations) and intuitive natural language instruction systems (2024, 44 citations). Her application of Joint BERT models for intent classification and slot filling further demonstrates her technical depth in adapting cutting-edge NLP architectures to real-world construction scenarios. With over 150 cumulative citations across just a few years of publication, Park's research is rapidly shaping how the construction industry approaches workforce augmentation, safety, and productivity through intelligent human-robot teaming.
