Multi-Agent Exploration for Construction Data Collection

NYU Abu Dhabi · SMART Lab

Cooperative multi-agent robotic system for 3D digitization and data collection in construction environments — one agent explores and maps the space while coordinating with another to clear obstacles, with a human operator in the loop via remote access when needed.

Development & Validation

  • Demonstrates autonomous exploration paired with agent-to-agent coordination so the team can keep mapping after an obstacle blocks the path.
  • Human-in-the-loop teleoperation backs the autonomous stack when remote support is required to finish the mission.
  • Published in the Journal of Field Robotics as an application of multiagent robotic systems and exploration algorithms to construction-site data collection.
