summary	Several research projects (Gramazio et al. 2014; Willmann et al. 2015; Helm et al. 2017; Adel et al. 2018; Adel Ahmadian 2020) have investigated the use of automated assembly technologies (e.g., industrial robotic arms) for the fabrication of nonstandard timber structures. Building on these projects, we present a novel and transferable process for the robotic fabrication of bespoke timber subassemblies made of off-the-shelf standard timber elements. A nonstandard timber structure (Figure 2), consisting of four bespoke subassemblies: three vertical supports and a Zollinger (Allen 1999) roof structure, acts as the case study for the research and validates the feasibility of the proposed process.

title	Representing the semantics of virtual spaces
source	IEEE MultiMedia. 6, (2):54-63
summary	In the StarWalker virtual environment, users explore a shared semantic space and collaborate with concurrent visitors. StarWalker's design illustrates the potential of unifying spatial models, semantic structures, and social navigation metaphors in the development of multiuser virtual environments.

title	Are theories of imagery theories of imagination? An active perception approach to conscious mental content
source	Cognitive Science 23(2): 207-245
summary	Can theories of mental imagery, conscious mental contents, developed within cognitive science throw light on the obscure (but culturally very significant) concept of imagination? Three extant views of mental imagery are considered: quasi-pictorial, description, and perceptual activity theories. The first two face serious theoretical and empirical difficulties. The third is (for historically contingent reasons) little known, theoretically underdeveloped, and empirically untried, but has real explanatory potential. It rejects the "traditional" symbolic computational view of mental contents, but is compatible with recent and approaches in robotics. This theory is developed and elucidated. Three related key aspects of imagination (non-discursiveness, creativity, and ) raise difficulties for the other theories. Perceptual activity theory presents imagery as non-discursive and relates it closely to . It is thus well placed to be the basis for a general theory of imagination and its role in creative thought.
