Robotics are emerging as a powerful tool to improve efficiency, enhance safety, and tackle the growing complexity of modern projects within the built environment. Yet introducing advanced technologies into active, often unpredictable, construction environments brings its own unique set of challenges. From addressing early-stage problems through innovation, to balancing research and development with real-world application, robotics is at a critical point in reshaping the future of the building site. So let’s dive into this topic with someone who lives and breathes robotic engineering.

Michael Ren is the Founder and CEO of CSC Robotic Engineering Limited, a pioneering construction robot company established in 2019. Under his visionary leadership, CSC Robo is becoming a global leader in innovative construction technologies.

With a career spanning over two decades, Michael is a seasoned technologist and experienced entrepreneur with a proven track record of innovation across multiple industries. His expertise encompasses automation and robotics, power electronics, IoT devices and systems, mechanical and electronic manufacturing, advanced materials research, and micro- and nano-scale fabrication.

Michael has held roles as Director of Strategic Application in Shun Cheong Engineering Group, and as an entrepreneur and one of the founders of iLOda, a startup in connected Bluetooth low energy (BLE) wearable products.
