About
Dr. Hakeem A. Owolabi is a leading voice at the intersection of construction engineering and advanced automation. His primary research focuses on the barriers and drivers for adopting robotics and automated systems within the traditionally slow-moving construction sector. His seminal 2019 paper, "Robotics and automated systems in construction: Understanding industry-specific challenges for adoption," has garnered over 554 citations, establishing him as a key authority on why construction lags behind other industries in automation. This work systematically identifies the unique economic, technical, and cultural hurdles that hinder robotic integration, providing a critical roadmap for practitioners and policymakers. More recently, Dr. Owolabi has expanded his expertise into data-driven supply chain management, exploring how artificial intelligence and analytics can revolutionize decision-making in complex logistical networks. His contributions are vital for a future where construction sites are safer, more efficient, and increasingly autonomous, making his research essential reading for students and professionals aiming to modernize the built environment.
