About

Vahid Koliyaee is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of architectural robotics, human-robot collaboration, and advanced construction automation. His work addresses a critical gap in the AEC industry: the disconnect between cutting-edge robotic capabilities and real-world construction practice. In his highly cited work, "Robotic Masonry Arch Construction Considering Object Recognition and Human-Robot Interaction" (2025), Koliyaee challenges the conventional unidirectional flow of instructions from humans to machines. Instead, he pioneers a bidirectional, collaborative framework where robots not only execute tasks but also perceive their environment and adapt in real time. This research integrates object recognition, robotic manipulation, and interactive feedback loops, enabling safer, more flexible, and intelligent on-site construction. By demonstrating how robots can work alongside human masons to build complex masonry arches, Koliyaee’s contributions are laying the groundwork for a new paradigm in construction—one where automation is not a replacement, but a partner. His work is already influencing discussions on human-robot interaction in architecture, and with growing citations, it is poised to shape the future of responsive, robotic building systems.
