Our Work
We are forwarding to an inclusive and intelligent construction industry
01
Analysis of Technology User and Gender Bias in Practice
We conducted gender scores analysis of equipment operators' job posters and interviewed seven practices to understand their technology use practice, teleoperated robotics potentials, and their worker hiring and performance evaluation practice
