Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores remote and automated construction for large-scale civil engineering works, as well as the use of waste and biomass.

AboutAbout the lab
DX in construction, and effective use of resources.
The Global Development Informatics Lab studies digital transformation (DX) efforts to carry out large-scale civil engineering works, such as pipe jacking, by remote operation or automation.
It also conducts research on waste incineration and recycling.
It also conducts research on making effective use of biomass.
It is an endowed research field in the Environmental Circulation Systems Division of the Faculty of Engineering.
