About

Anuoluwapo Ajayi is a leading voice in construction digitalization, whose research confronts the industry’s most persistent inefficiencies. Her work focuses on the adoption and integration of artificial intelligence, robotics, and automated systems within the construction sector—a field historically resistant to technological change. Ajayi’s seminal review, “Artificial intelligence in the construction industry,” has garnered over 897 citations, establishing a foundational roadmap for leveraging AI to overcome chronic challenges like cost overruns, safety hazards, and labor shortages. Complementing this, her investigation into “Robotics and automated systems in construction” (554 citations) systematically identifies the industry-specific barriers that have stifled automation adoption, offering crucial insights for practitioners and policymakers. By diagnosing the root causes of low digitization and proposing targeted solutions, Ajayi’s work bridges the gap between technological potential and practical implementation. Her research is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how emerging technologies can transform a traditionally slow-moving industry into a more productive, safe, and efficient sector.
