About
Idris Jeelani is a leading researcher at the forefront of occupational safety and human-robot interaction in the construction industry. His work critically examines the emerging safety challenges posed by the rapid integration of drones, four-legged robots, and other collaborative robotic systems on construction jobsites. Jeelani’s major contributions include pioneering conceptual frameworks for safe human-robot collaboration and conducting empirical studies—using virtual reality and psychophysiological measures—to quantify the risks of working in close proximity to these technologies. His research on proxemics, attentional impacts, and cognitive workload has established foundational knowledge for designing safer, more productive human-robot teams. With his most cited paper, “Safe human-robot collaboration in construction: A conceptual perspective,” accumulating 69 citations, Jeelani’s work is highly influential. He has also developed innovative educational tools, such as the RoboSite virtual site visit, to prepare the next generation of construction professionals. By identifying novel risks for workers at heights and assessing the safety implications of human-drone interactions, Jeelani is shaping the future of safe automation in construction.
