About
Dr. Samuel Prouten is a researcher at the forefront of autonomous construction and digital twin technology, with a focused expertise in human-machine collaboration for heavy earthwork operations. His most-cited work introduces a groundbreaking industrial use-case: a virtual-reality digital twin system designed to supervise autonomous earthmoving machinery. Rather than pursuing full autonomy, Prouten addresses a critical real-world bottleneck—what happens when autonomous fleets get stuck or halt for safety. By developing an immersive VR interface that allows human operators to remotely intervene and guide machines through complex scenarios, he bridges the gap between full automation and practical, safe deployment. This work, already garnering citations for its pragmatic approach, positions him as a key contributor to the future of construction site automation. Prouten’s research directly tackles the supervision challenge that stands between today’s prototypes and tomorrow’s autonomous construction sites, making his contributions essential reading for engineers and researchers working on human-robot interaction in unstructured environments.
