About
Oscar Wong Chong is a leading researcher at the intersection of construction robotics, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and lean principles, with a focus on transforming offsite and modular construction. His work pioneers the integration of robotic systems into traditionally labor-intensive processes, particularly through BIM-based simulation to automate the assembly of wood frames. His most cited paper (67 citations) demonstrates how digital twins can optimize robotic workflows, while his comprehensive review (61 citations) systematically maps the synergies between lean construction and robotics in offsite settings, identifying critical gaps for future research. Chong’s early work on game simulation for modular construction (Stage I) laid the groundwork for using interactive digital environments to test and validate automation strategies before physical deployment. With a growing citation footprint, his research directly addresses the industry’s need for greater time efficiency and quality in modular building—a sector where automation adoption has lagged. By bridging computational design, robotics, and lean management, Chong is shaping a future where construction becomes smarter, faster, and more predictable.
