About
Michael Budig is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotic fabrication and architectural design, with a particular focus on high-rise construction and robot-inclusive built environments. His pioneering work challenges the standardization of residential high-rises in Southeast Asia, demonstrating how robotic technologies can introduce bespoke design elements to liberate architecture from serial production. Budig’s 2014 paper "Integrating Robotic Fabrication in the Design Process" (14 citations) laid the groundwork for this vision, while "Design of Robotic Fabricated High Rises" (9 citations) further explored computational design-to-production workflows. Recognizing the growing deployment of mobile service robots, Budig later shifted focus to robot inclusivity, developing an adapted FMEA framework (10 citations) to assess spatial hazards. His recent work leverages digital twins to evaluate design guideline compliance (6 citations) and analyzes surface unevenness impacts on robot navigation (1 citation), addressing costly, labor-intensive conventional methods. With a career spanning foundational robotic fabrication to cutting-edge human-robot coexistence, Budig’s research is essential for architects, engineers, and urban planners seeking to create adaptive, robot-ready cities.
