For this episode<\/a> of WDBE Talks, we sat down with Aviad Almagor of\u00a0Trimble Ltd. to discuss sensor technology in the modern built environment. Our conversation touched on the on-site implementation of robotics and AI-based solutions, the importance of data capture, and the challenges facing the sector today and in the years ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aviad Almagor<\/a>\u00a0is the Division Vice President of Emerging Technologies with Trimble Ltd., a California-based hardware, software, and tech company that specializes in the development of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and\u00a0recently collaborated<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0Boston Dynamics<\/a>\u00a0to automate construction processes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAI in construction is a very exciting topic though the industry is traditionally not very well-equipped to adopt technology in a very effective way. AI is an enabling technology that can be used to support and augment work. This means we can automate processes; predict delays in schedule; cost changes; even design issues and prescribe and provide decision-makers with the right information to be efficient and to make the right choices for projects.\u201d Aviad noted in our interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n
