About

Guillem Perutxet Olesti is pioneering the automation of sustainable construction with earth-based materials. His research centers on robotic manufacturing, additive manufacturing, and the use of heterogeneous, low-embodied-emission materials like cob and soil. Perutxet Olesti’s major contributions include developing **Variable Aggregate Impact Printing (VAIP)**, a novel methodology that uses a six-axis robotic arm to automate the assembly of traditional cob by aggregating discrete, soft particles. He also created a **feedback-based robotic manufacturing method** that adapts to the unpredictable behavior of earth materials, addressing a key barrier to standardization. His work extends to **automated earth-construction for soil bioremediation**, exploring how engineered earth structures can balance structural integrity with biological viability in temporary landscapes. With over 6 citations across his most-cited papers (2023–2025), his research is gaining traction for its innovative fusion of robotics, sustainability, and material science. Perutxet Olesti’s achievements are notable for directly tackling the challenge of scaling up natural building techniques, offering a path toward automated, eco-friendly construction that could transform how we build with the earth beneath our feet.
