Dr. Park’s research focuses on advancing the construction industry through digitalization and strategic technological innovation, with a particular emphasis on construction automation and robotics. This includes Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), multi-agent human-robot collaboration, and the application of intelligent systems. By investigating these technologies, she aims to improve productivity, accuracy, and safety while addressing their impact on human factors within the construction industry. To achieve these goals, Dr. Park adopts an interdisciplinary approach to making human-technology interaction in construction, including HRI, more intuitive and efficient. Her research explores the integration of construction-specific technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) with advanced tools like Machine/Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Image Processing, and Virtual, Mixed, and Augmented Reality (VR/MR/AR). Ultimately, her research drives innovations that enhance the accessibility and effectiveness of technology to address the unique challenges of the construction industry and civil engineering sectors.
