About
Kereshmeh Afsari is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, construction technology, and built environment automation, whose work is reshaping how the construction and infrastructure industries approach inspection and monitoring. Her research focuses on the application of quadruped (four-legged) robots in construction progress monitoring, autonomous navigation, and human-robot teaming — areas where she has established herself as a leading voice. Afsari's most impactful contribution, a 2023 systematic review on robots in built environment inspection (202 citations), provides a comprehensive foundation for the field, examining how automation can reduce the inefficiencies and dangers inherent in manual inspection of buildings, bridges, tunnels, and pipelines. Her subsequent work integrating augmented reality with quadruped robots for real-time remote monitoring (57 citations) and developing BIM-enabled automated reality capture methodologies demonstrates her commitment to practical, technology-forward solutions. She has also contributed to the theoretical underpinnings of robotic locomotion through data-driven template modeling for dynamic quadrupedal systems. With over 495 cumulative citations across her published work and a prominent role in the ISARC 2021 proceedings, Afsari's research is actively influencing both academic discourse and industry practice in construction automation, making her scholarship essential reading for anyone working at the frontier of smart construction and infrastructure management.
