About
Bilal Sher is a researcher at the forefront of robotic building envelope assessment, focusing on the intersection of robotics, sensing, and energy efficiency. His work centers on developing autonomous systems for infrastructure inspection, particularly for detecting moisture and thermal inefficiencies in buildings. Sher’s major contributions include the conceptual design of a robotic system for building envelope assessment, which integrates advanced sensing and automation to identify energy losses—a critical step toward sustainable building maintenance. He also led the development of *Roofus*, a learning-based robotic platform that uses Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for moisture mapping on flat rooftops, overcoming limitations of traditional methods by enabling accurate, non-destructive detection across various roofing materials. His most-cited paper, “Conceptual Design of a Robotic Building Envelope Assessment System for Energy Efficiency” (2021), has garnered 4 citations, while his more recent work on *Roofus* (2024) is gaining traction with 1 citation. Sher’s research has been presented at the International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (ISARC), highlighting its practical relevance. By advancing robotic inspection tools, Sher is paving the way for cost-effective, data-driven building maintenance that reduces energy waste and extends infrastructure lifespan.
