This research project develops simulation-based computational methods and tools for supporting the fabrication-aware design of robotically assembled structures with discrete elements. The construction of such structures requires both, the precise guiding of building members around built parts and a strategy for compensating the accumulation of tolerances during fabrication. Hence, the specific focus of this research is the integration of automatic robot path planning including obstacle avoidance into a computational design environment and the simulation of the structure’s geometrical changes based on measured and estimated tolerances. As such, this research allows to investigate the constraints present in robotically fabricated spatial structures and to considerably expand their design and fabrication space.
This research is conducted in collaboration with the projects Multi-Robotic Prefabrication and Spatial Timber Assemblies within the framework of the National Competence Centre of Research (NCCR) Digital Fabrication and validated through the construction of various large-scale prefabricated architectural prototypes in the Robotic Fabrication Laboratory (RFL).
