Former ITECH student Rabih Koussa will present the paper “Bridging the Sim-to-Real Gap in Collective Robotic Construction: A Mixed Reality Reinforcement Learning Approach” at the CDRF 2026 conference, held at the School of Built Environment, UNSW Sydney, Australia. The paper was authored by Niki Kentroti, Rabih Koussa, Che Chen Hu, Shermin Sherkat, Lasath Siriwardena, Achim Menges, and Thomas Wortmann. The presentation will take place in Paper Session B02, “Robotic Assembly Under Constraints.
This research project was realized as a master’s thesis in the Integrative Technologies and Architectural Design Research M.Sc. Programme (ITECH) at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, led by the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE).
