Robotically Driven Architectural Production

Abstract

Robotically driven architectural production advances seamless, computer-numerically controlled (CNC) and robotically supported design to production and operation processes enabling im-plementation of robotically driven buildings from conceptualisation to use. It enables production of free-formed, heterogeneous, optimized structures in order to address specific requirements in terms of properties (density, consistency, rigidity, etc.) and behaviours (re-configurability, responsiveness, etc.) in accordance to formal, functional, structural, climatic, environmental, and economic needs. This may require multi-robot collaboration implying that several robots collaborate with each other and humans in the process of production and assembly of multi-material, free-formed, diverse, and optimized building components and buildings.
