Call for Papers - Journal on Construction Robotics

[CAADRIA]

Dear CAADRIA colleagues and friends,

This is a call for papers for Construction Robotics, a journal that is steadily increasing its rankings and range. Its typical base is central Europe, but they are seeking more submissions from the Asian/Australian research community. Construction Robotics is also expanding beyond the conventional "robotics for construction" scope, as you will see from the call below.

I am editing this special call issue with co-editors Dagmar Reinhardt (University of Sydney), Marius Hoggenmüller (University of Sydney) and Yiming Liu (Southern University of Science and Technology), we are delighted to invite you to submit your freshest work until 31 August 2026!

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions and all the best,

Candy

Call for Papers - Journal on Construction Robotics!!!! [Please spread the news!]

Theme:
Human-Robot Collaboration and Cohabitation in Shared Spaces

Construction Robotics, Springer

Submission Deadline: August 31, 2026

Robots of various kinds and sizes are no longer confined to factories or laboratories - they are increasingly present in our immediate environments, sharing the same spaces humans inhabit. From purpose-specific cleaning robots and self-driving cars to UAV food delivery and multi-purpose humanoid robots, these technologies are becoming active participants in our daily lives. With robots and humans increasingly coexisting, the built environment will need to change and adapt to accommodate this new dynamic, creating spaces that are not only functional but also welcoming, inclusive, and responsive to both human and robotic needs.

This Topical Collection invites authors to explore the future of built environments in which humans and robots share spaces seamlessly. How can architecture foster collaboration, safety, and adaptability in human-robot cohabitation? What new design principles and spatial configurations will emerge as robots become integral to our homes, workplaces, and cities? How can we ensure that these environments balance human well-being and technical needs of robots, leveraging the capabilities of robotic and other cyber-physical systems as part of new environments?
We welcome research papers that address these questions, exploring topics such as shared spatial intelligence, architectural design for human-robot cohabitation, robotic interfaces, robotics embedded in buildings, adaptive architecture, human-robot interaction and collaboration, including the ethical and social implications of robotic integration into everyday spaces.
