Abstract
This paper presents a deictic gesture-based interface for specifying construction tasks directly in the field, with the goal of letting workers communicate spatial goals to robots more naturally and with less specialized training. It introduces the interface concept for in situ task specification and demonstrates its potential for more intuitive human-robot interaction in construction settings.

Hello! I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Architecture & Architectural Engineering at Seoul National University. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Changbum R. Ahn, and I am a member of the Construction Engineering & Management Lab. My research interests include construction robotics, human-robot interaction, and robot learning.

I previously completed both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Architectural Engineering at Seoul National University, where I conducted research on modular construction and human-robot interaction under the advisement of Professor Moonseo Park.

I am honored to be a recipient of the Basic Science Research Program (Ph.D. Fellowship) from the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF).

Currently, I serve as a student coordinator of a joint project funded by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport & Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, South Korea, on developing a multipurpose robotic platform and XR-based human–robot collaboration system for construction work at height.
