About
Edward Sey-Taylor is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of construction engineering and human-robot interaction, whose work is reshaping how the industry perceives automation. His primary research areas include human-robot collaboration (HRC) in construction, technology adoption in project management, and the socio-technical dynamics of automated work environments. Sey-Taylor’s most cited paper, “Evaluating the Perception of Human-Robot Collaboration among Construction Project Managers” (2022, 7 citations), challenges the traditional view of robots as mere semi-automated tools. Instead, he demonstrates that as robotic capabilities advance, construction professionals increasingly see them as teammates or co-workers—a paradigm shift with profound implications for workforce training, safety protocols, and project design. This work has become a foundational reference for scholars exploring the psychological and organizational barriers to HRC adoption. By bridging robotics and construction management, Sey-Taylor provides critical insights into how collaborative systems can be integrated without disrupting existing workflows. His research is particularly notable for its practical focus, offering evidence-based recommendations for project managers navigating the transition toward hybrid human-robot crews. As the construction industry moves toward greater automation, Sey-Taylor’s contributions are essential reading for anyone interested in the future of work on the built environment.
