Prof. Daeho Kim

Lab Director
Assistant Professor
Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering

Professor Daeho Kim’s research centers on advancing co robotic construction to transform the traditional labor intensive construction industry. His work aims to establish safe, productive, and cohesive collaboration between human workers and robots by developing scalable safety technologies, redesigning workspaces and processes, and training a new workforce specialized in human robot teaming. By addressing challenges in safety, ergonomics, and workforce development, Professor Kim envisions a future where robots handle repetitive tasks while humans supervise and resolve uncertainties, ultimately enhancing productivity, safety, and the appeal of construction careers to a broader demographic.
