Tessa Lau is a computer scientist, roboticist, and entrepreneur who has drawn on her experience with artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics knowledge to solve problems in the hospitality and construction industries.
[4] Lau's drive for faster growth and finding solutions to more pressing problems led her to leave Savioke and establish her own robotics company within a new industry.
She first identified problems in the construction industry when she was remodeling her house and noticed the mistakes made by the manual laborers faced with their limited tools.
She then began visiting construction sites to learn more about the industry and identify opportunities for artificial intelligence to come into play.
As a solution, the robot uses Building Information Modeling (BIM) to print accurate, full-scale, digital plans directly on constructions sites, in turn improving the accuracy of the guiding map.
