The aim of this research is to explore and implement human-machine collaborative strategies in architecture, digital design, and robotic fabrication by combining implicit human knowledge with explicit decision-making processes of automated systems. It focuses on novel human-augmentation strategies and tools needed for human-machine collaboration to perform non-standard fabrication tasks at a full architectural scale. This project investigates how humans' cognitive abilities and tacit knowledge can augment the precision, immediacy, and speed of machine agents to enable otherwise impossible or unsustainable tasks.
Augmented Bricklaying: As a first case study, a complex brick-building facade for a winery in Greece is being constructed through augmented manual bricklaying using key principles of this research. More info: >Weblink to project page Robot see robot do: The second case study explores the potential of human-robot collaboration for the in-place assembly of complex building wooden structures by using a custom-made object-aware mobile AR interface. More info: >Weblink to GitHub page IRoP - interactive robotic plastering: The third case study is a system enabling designers and skilled workers to engage intuitively with an in-situ robotic plastering process. The research combines interactive design tools, an augmented reality interface, and a robotic spraying system. More info: >Weblink to project page Extended Reality Collaboration(ERC): The fourth case study presents a mixed-reality immersive collaboration system that enables bi-directional communication and data exchange between on-site and off-site users, mutually accessing a digital twin. Extended Reality Collaboration (ERC) allows building site information to inform design decisions and new design iterations to be momentarily visualized and evaluated on-site.
