About

Eliott Sounigo is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic fabrication and architectural craftsmanship, whose work redefines how we think about on-site construction automation. His primary research areas include adaptive thin-layer printing, robotic plaster spraying (RPS), and mobile quasi-static fabrication systems for architectural-scale construction. Sounigo’s major contribution lies in developing continuous, mobile robotic systems that can operate over large spans while maintaining material continuity—a significant departure from discrete fabrication strategies. His most cited work, "Continuous Mobile Thin-Layer On-Site Printing" (2022, 26 citations), introduces a novel approach to automating on-site plastering that preserves the functional and ornamental traditions of plasterwork. In "Robotic Plaster Spraying: Crafting Surfaces with Adaptive Thin-Layer Printing" (2021, 17 citations), he demonstrates how robotic techniques can be embedded within longstanding craft traditions. His 2022 paper on 1:1 scale application of RPS using cementitious base coat plaster (8 citations) represents a landmark achievement, proving that adaptive thin-layer printing with vertical print layers—unlike conventional 3DCP—can be successfully deployed in real construction settings. Sounigo’s work bridges the gap between digital fabrication and traditional craftsmanship, offering a compelling vision for bespoke, automated on-site construction.
