About
Daniel Nunes Locatelli is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic fabrication and sustainable timber construction. His work focuses on developing multi-scalar robotic systems that bridge the gap between digital prefabrication and on-site assembly, addressing a critical bottleneck in modern timber architecture. Locatelli’s major contribution is the creation of an innovative on-site press gluing system for multi-storey timber buildings, which replaces traditional low-performance manual connections with high-strength, automated adhesive joints. This breakthrough enables seamless integration of robotic precision into real-world construction environments, potentially revolutionizing how timber structures are assembled at scale. His most cited paper (2024, 10 citations) demonstrates the system’s viability, while a follow-up study (2 citations) refines the methodology. By solving the long-standing challenge of automating on-site timber assembly, Locatelli’s work directly supports the global push toward sustainable, carbon-sequestering building materials. His research is particularly notable for its practical orientation, offering a scalable solution that could accelerate the adoption of timber in high-rise construction. For students and researchers in digital fabrication, Locatelli’s work exemplifies how robotics can transform traditional building practices into efficient, high-performance systems.
