ARCH 8010
Material Agencies: Robotics & Design Lab
The studio introduces students to the Robotics Lab through a software / hardware routine to engage the 6-axes industrial robot. The relatively simple robotic extension quickly introduces students to the robotic lab, robot interface and ultimately produces tangible results quickly, yet also highlights the designer’s need to develop designs within geometrical constraints that are tightly related to specific manufacturing processes. Operating through ruled surface geometries enables the designer to have maximum control over the manufactured output whilst removing the need for post-design geometric rationalization or value engineering activities.
