About
Yukio Hasegawa is a pioneering figure in construction automation and robotics, whose career spans more than four decades of transformative research in mechanizing the built environment. Beginning his scholarly contributions as early as 1979 with work on industrial robots, Hasegawa became one of the founding voices in applying robotic systems to construction sites — a field he helped formally establish through his involvement with ISARC (International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction) from its very first proceedings in 1984. His research has consistently addressed the practical and conceptual challenges of introducing robotics into the inherently complex, unstructured environments of building construction, including notable contributions to modular robot design and interior finishing automation through projects like WASCOR IV. Hasegawa's most cited work, "Construction Automation and Robotics in the 21st Century" (2006, 24 citations), reflects his enduring role as a synthesizer of the field's progress and potential. With cumulative citations across landmark papers reviewing a decade of construction robotics, Japan's automation wave, and historical perspectives, Hasegawa stands as an essential chronicler and architect of a discipline he helped bring into existence.
