About
Yaqi Zhao is a leading researcher in the emerging field of human–robot collaboration (HRC) within the construction industry, with a particular focus on risk management and safety during engineering project implementation. Her most cited work, "Identifying the risk factors and their interactions of human–robot collaboration implementation during engineering project construction: evidence from China" (2022, 22 citations), represents a foundational contribution to understanding the complex interplay of risks when integrating robotic systems with human workers on construction sites. Zhao’s research systematically identifies critical risk factors and maps their interactions, providing actionable frameworks for safer and more efficient HRC deployment. This work is especially significant given the construction industry’s slow adoption of robotics, and her findings offer practical guidance for project managers and policymakers. By bridging the gap between theoretical robotics and real-world construction challenges, Zhao has established herself as a key voice in the safe transition toward automated construction environments. Her research continues to influence both academic discourse and industry practices, making her a notable figure in construction engineering and human–robot interaction studies.
