3rd place in Scan-to-BIM challenge (CV4_AEC Workshop, CVPR 2023) for HumanTech project team

The team of the EU Horizon Project HumanTech , consisting of Mahdi Chamseddine and Dr. Jason Rambach from DFKI Augmented Vision as well as Fabian Kaufmann from RPTU Kaiserslautern – department of Civil Engineering, received the 3rd place prize in the Scan-to-BIM challenge of the (Computer Vision in the Built Environment) CV4_AEC Workshop of the CVPR 2023 conference.

On the 18.6, the team presented their solution and results as part of the workshop program. Scan-to-BIM solutions are of great importance for the construction community as they automate the generation of as-built models of buildings from 3D scans, and can be used for quality monitoring, robotic task planning and XR visualization, among other applications.

Special Issue on the IEEE ARSO 2023 Conference: Human Factors in Construction Robotics

Dr. Jason Rambach, coordinator of the EU Horizon Project HumanTech co-organized a special session on “Human Factors in Construction Robotics” at the IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts (ARSO 2023) in Berlin, Germany (5.6-7.6). The organization of the special session was done by Jason Rambach, Gabor Sziebig, Research Manager at SINTEF, and Mihoko Niitsuma, Professor at Chuo University.

The program of the special session included the following talks:

  • Serena Ivaldi (INRIA) – Teleoperating a robot for removing asbestos tiles on roofs: Insights from a pilot study
  • Jason Rambach (DFKI) – Machine perception for human-robot handover scenarios in construction
  • Patricia Helen Rosen (BAUA) – Design recommendations for construction robots – a human-centred perspective
  • Dimitrios Giakoumis (CERTH ITI) – Designing human-robot interaction interfaces for shotcrete construction robots; the RobetArme project case
