About
Tobias Recker is a robotics and automation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of mobile robotics, human-robot collaboration, and additive manufacturing in construction. His research addresses some of the most pressing challenges in deploying autonomous systems in real-world, large-scale environments where traditional stationary robots fall short. Recker's most influential contribution, "Additive Manufacturing using mobile robots: Opportunities and challenges for building construction" (2022, 109 citations), has established him as a leading voice in construction robotics, exploring how mobile platforms can overcome workspace limitations inherent to fixed systems. Complementing this, his work on contour tracking control, autonomous sensing, and multi-model frameworks for 3D concrete printing demonstrates a comprehensive approach to making mobile additive manufacturing practically viable. Beyond construction, Recker has made significant strides in human-robot collaboration, developing task scheduling methods and workplace classification frameworks that help organizations strategically integrate robots alongside human workers — work that has attracted over 60 citations. His investigations into formation control, spline-based path planning, and large-object handling with mobile manipulators further reflect his breadth across autonomous systems research. With a growing citation profile and highly applied focus, Recker's contributions are shaping the future of intelligent, mobile automation in both industrial and construction settings.
