About
Walid Thabet is a leading researcher in construction automation and digital project delivery, with a focus on transforming traditional construction progress monitoring through robotics and augmented reality. His work addresses critical inefficiencies in manual inspection processes, which are often time-consuming, inconsistent, and prone to human error. Thabet’s major contributions include pioneering the use of quadruped robots for real-time, remote construction monitoring, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2022 paper (57 citations), which integrates augmented reality to enhance data capture and visualization on active job sites. He has also developed frameworks for evaluating the effectiveness of legged robots in automated progress monitoring, identifying key performance indicators that guide industry adoption (15 citations). By bridging robotics, computer vision, and construction management, Thabet’s research offers scalable solutions for systematic, accurate, and persistent site inspections. His work is instrumental in advancing the digital transformation of the construction industry, enabling safer, more efficient project delivery. For students and researchers, Thabet’s studies represent a compelling intersection of field robotics and applied construction technology, with clear pathways to real-world impact.
