About

Vasily Porkhalo is a researcher advancing the field of construction robotics, with a primary focus on the automation of 3D printing for buildings and structures. His work centers on developing the control systems and software architectures that enable large-scale robotic printers to operate with precision and reliability. Porkhalo’s major contributions include the design of a control system for a gantry-type construction 3D printer capable of moving on rails, a solution that addresses the unique challenges of printing large-scale building components. He further advanced this field by proposing a modular, two-level software architecture for real-time control of industrial construction printers, enabling multi-axis interpolation and coordinated motion. While his citation counts are currently modest—9 for his foundational 2016 paper and 4 for his 2018 work—these publications represent early, foundational steps in a rapidly growing niche. Porkhalo’s research is notable for its practical, engineering-focused approach, bridging the gap between robotics theory and the tangible demands of on-site construction, making him a key contributor to the emerging paradigm of automated building fabrication.
