Empowering Intelligent Robotic Teaming

The ARC Research Hub for Human Robot Teaming for Sustainable and Resilient Construction brings together Australia’s leading researchers, industry innovators, and government partners to reshape how humans and robots work together. The Hub focuses on human robot teaming as a sociotechnical system that recognises the close connection between people, technology, and the wider social and organisational environment. Our goal is not only to develop more capable robots, but to design systems where human expertise and robotic precision combine to create safer, more efficient, and more sustainable construction practices.

​

The construction industry is moving into a new era of intelligent automation, where success depends as much on integration and collaboration as it does on technology itself. The Hub brings together expertise across engineering, computer science, social science, and management to ensure that innovation supports real-world needs, from workforce wellbeing to regulatory and industry expectations. Through research in intelligent robotics, human centred design, digital construction, and data driven quality assurance, we are building the foundations for a future where humans and robots work as genuine partners.

​

Our ambition is to establish Australia as a world leader in sustainable, resilient, and human focused construction. By uniting seven universities and a broad network of industry and international collaborators, the Hub is creating the knowledge, methods, and tools that will enable safe, intuitive, and effective human robot collaboration, transforming both the capability and culture of the construction sector for the long term.
