Research summary
AI-generated

Kyungki Kim's research focuses on applying digital technologies to construction and infrastructure work, including building information modeling (BIM), robotics for construction tasks, indoor localization, and safety monitoring on job sites. More recent work explores how large language models (LLMs) and AI chatbots can support construction robots, cost estimation, inspection training, and even healthcare assistance robots. This research area sits at the intersection of civil/construction engineering, robotics, and applied AI.
