ReAC is a research group at Carnegie Mellon’s Computational Design Laboratory investigating new ways of combining artificial intelligence and robotics techniques to support building construction. The group's focus is on advancing a vision for humane uses of automation in construction through the design and development of "robot in the loop" adaptive systems that enhance and interact with (rather than purporting to replace) human labor on site. Comprising faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students in the School of Architecture and Robotics Institute, the group is currently developing a software framework for robotically-assisted construction based on reinforcement learning methods, investigating human-machine interaction challenges specific to building contexts, and conducting qualitative studies at building sites and modular construction facilities.
