| IRoP: Interactive Robotic Plastering, 2021 |
| Augmented interactive design and fabrication system for on-site robotic plastering |
|
Interactive Robotic Plastering (IRoP) 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. Plastering is a complex process relying on tacit knowledge and craftsmanship, making it difficult to simulate and automate. Our system utilizes a controller-based interaction system to enable diverse users to interactively create articulated plasterwork in situ. A customizable computational toolset converts human intentions into robotic motions while respecting robotic and material constraints. To accomplish this, we developed an interactive computational model to translate the data from a motion-tracking system into robotic trajectories using design and editing tools and an audio-visual guidance system for in-situ projection. We then built a full-scale demonstrator in a remote, abandoned industry building over a period of three weeks within the framework of the MAS postgraduate design studio in 2021.
