title	Understanding Pre-Construction Simulation Activities to Adapt Visualization in 4D CAD Collaborative Tools
source	Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures 2011 [Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures / ISBN 9782874561429] Liege (Belgium) 4-8 July 2011, pp. 477-492.
summary	Increasing productivity and efficiency is an important issue in the AEC field. This area is mainly characterized by fragmentation, heterogeneous teams with low lifetimes and many uncertainties. 4D CAD is one of the greatest innovations in recent years. It consists in linking a 3D model of the building with the works planning in order to simulate the construction evolution over time. 4D CAD can fill several needs from design to project management through constructivity analysis and tasks planning (Tommelein 2003). The literature shows that several applications have been proposed to improve the 4D CAD use (Chau et al. 2004; Lu et al. 2007; Seok & al. 2009). In addition, studies have shown the real impact of 4D CAD use in construction projects (Staub-French & Khanzode 2007; Dawood & Sika 2007). More recently, Mahalingam et al. (2010) showed that the collaborative use of 4D CAD is particularly useful during the pre-construction phase for comparing the constructability of working methods, for visually identifying conflicts and clashes (overlaps), and as visual tool for practitioners to discuss and to plan project progress. So the advantage of the 4D CAD collaborative use is demonstrated. Moreover, several studies have been conducted both in the scientific community and in the industrial world to improve it (Zhou et al. 2009; Kang et al. 2007). But an important need that remains in collaborative 4D CAD use in construction projects is about the adaptation of visualization to the users business needs. Indeed, construction projects have very specific characteristics (fragmentation, variable team, different roles from one project to another). Moreover, in the AEC field several visualization techniques can represent the same concept and actors choose one or another of these techniques according to their specific needs related to the task they have to perform. For example, the tasks planning may be represented by a Gantt chart or by a PERT network and the building elements can be depicted with a 3D model or a 2D plan. The classical view (3D + Gantt) proposed to all practitioners in the available 4D tools seems therefore not suiting the needs of all. So, our research is based on the hypothesis that adapting the visualization to individual business needs could significantly improve the collaboration. This work relies on previous ones and aim to develop a method 1) to choose the best suited views for performed tasks and 2) to compose adapted multiple views for each actor, that we call ‚Äúbusiness views‚Äù. We propose a 4 steps-method to compose business views. The first step identifies the users‚Äô business needs, defining the individual practices performed by each actor, identifying his business tasks and his information needs. The second step identifies the visualization needs related to the identified business needs. For this purpose, the user‚Äôs interactions and visualization tasks are described. This enables choosing the most appropriate visualization techniques for each need (step 3). At this step, it is important to describe the visualization techniques and to be able to compare them. Therefore, we proposed a business view metamodel. The final step (step 4) selects the adapted views, defines the coordination mechanisms and the interaction principles in order to compose coordinated visualizations. A final step consists in a validation work to ensure that the composed views really match to the described business needs. This paper presents the latest version of the method and especially presents our latest works about its first and second steps. These include making more generic the business tasks description in order to be applicable within most of construction projects and enabling to make correspondence with visualization tasks.

title	The Electronic Neighbourhood - A New Urban Space

summary	During the event Cultural Market Days on 23 and 24 August 2003 at Noerrebro Park in Copenhagen, visitors could also enter the marketplace from their home via the Internet, as a digital 3D model had been constructed that showed the marketplace with all its information booths and activities. This virtual marketplace functioned as an extension of the urban space, allowing you to take part in the flow of information, activities and experiences that were offered in the marketplace. And this just by a click on the Internet address: http://www.e-kvarter.dk. Furthermore at certain times of the day you could chat with people from some of the many working groups of the urban regeneration project in Noerrebro. The digital 3D model is similar to the marketplace, but it creates its own universe in the green surroundings of Noerrebro Park. And now, when the Cultural Market Days are finished and the booths and people have gone, the Electronic Marketplace still remains on the Internet, with a potential for developing a new public space for information, dialogue and cooperation between the actors of the urban regeneration project. This paper presents the results of a 3-year research project, The Electronic Neighbourhood (2000-2004). Researchers have developed and tested a digital model of the urban area and other digital tools for supporting the dialogue and cooperation between professionals and citizens in an urban regeneration project in Copenhagen. The Danish Agency for Enterprise and Housing, the Ministry for Refugees, Immigration and Integration and Copenhagen Municipality have financed the research, which is planned to be published 2004. The results can also be followed on the Internet www.e-kvarter.dk.

title	Immersion, Interaction, and Collaboration In Architectural Design Using Gaming Engines
source	CAADRIA 2003 [Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / ISBN 974-9584-13-9] Bangkok Thailand 18-20 October 2003, pp. 721-738

summary	"This paper investigates the role of gaming engines in the architectural design process through the introduction of features such as immersion, interaction and collaboration. While traditional 3D modelling and visualization systems such as 3D Studio MAX and form?Z offer increasingly convincing visual simulations, gaming engines are approaching the visual realism of such systems and are offering additional interactive features that are usually available only in more expensive immersive virtual reality systems . Additionally, the capability to have multiple individuals inhabit and navigate the space offers unique opportunities for collaboration as well as the investigation of human behaviour. Participants with internet access can be invited to access a shared virtual environment. Collaboration among users can be further enhanced by combining immersive navigation with peer-to-peer instant messaging and/or adding a voice channel. This paper analyzes these issues through research summary and the creation and user testing of a prototype based on a publicly available gaming engine. Through a series of assignments within an academic course, students in the school of architecture were asked to iteratively use and test this prototype for the collaborative exploration of designed environments. Students made their environments available for others to navigate in real-time and offer comments. A final design review was conducted in which critics were asked to enter the designed environment, explore it at will and interact with the student as well as others present in the same virtual space. This paper will illustrate some of the student projects and describe the immersive,"

title	Computer-Aided Creativity and Learning in Distributed Cooperative Human-Machine Networks
source	Digital Design - Research and Practice [Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures / ISBN 1-4020-1210-1] Tainan (Taiwan) 13–15 October 2003, pp. 191-202
summary	In this paper we discuss designing abilities, such as creativity and learning, as abilities that emerge though interaction in cooperative human-machine networks. We concentrate in a design system that can exhibit and support creative behaviour using knowledge learnt through distributed human-machine interaction. In this context, conflict resolution and coordination is a main issue, as well as a main indicator for the creative and adaptive ability of the design system. More specifically, we are going to present a model of coordination developed using learning control and multi-agent systems methodologies and techniques. A prototype system is tested in a virtual collaborative design assignment for simple location and three-dimensional configuration problems.

summary	DMR is a semantic robot-control language that attempts to change our relationship with machines and create true human-robot collaboration through intuitive interfacing. To this end, DMR is demonstrated in the DMR Interface, an Android app, which accepts semantic vocal commands as well as containing a GUI for feedback and verification. This app is combined with a robot-mounted 3D camera to enable robotic interaction with the surroundings or compensate for unpredictable environments. This combination of tools gives users access to adaptive automation whereby a robot is no longer given explicit instructions but instead is given a job to do and will adapt its movements to execute this regardless of any slight changes to the goal or environment. The major advantages of this system come in the vagueness of the instructions given and a constant feedback of task accomplishment, approaching the manner in which we subconsciously control our bodies or would guide another person to achieve a goal.

title	Robotic Apprentices: Leveraging Augmented Reality for Robot Training in Manufacturing Automation
source	SIGraDi 2020 [Proceedings of the 24th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Online Conference 18 - 20 November 2020, pp. 608-614
summary	In the scope of Industry 4.0, a framework is proposed to leverage the potential of articulating Augmented Reality and Robotic Manufacturing in the construction industry. The objective of such framework is to enable robots to learn how to perform tasks using direct interaction with human operators. As a first step, we established a connection between a robot and its trainer— or controller—in which the robot mirrors the operator’s actions. Augmented Reality hardware is used for capturing the trainer’s gestures and the surrounding environment. A digital tool was implemented using Grasshopper and additional plugins to control the process.

title	Layer-by-Layer Pick and Place Collaboration Between Human and Robot Using Optimization
source	Dokonal, W, Hirschberg, U and Wurzer, G (eds.), Digital Design Reconsidered - Proceedings of the 41st Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2023) - Volume 1, Graz, 20-22 September 2023, pp. 769–778
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.2.769
summary	Robotic pick-and-place (P&P) has been widely utilized in manufacturing and architectural construction since the 1980s. However, the lack of inherent sensing capabilities in robots has limited their ability to adapt and respond to changes in design or environment. To address some of these shortcomings, this paper proposes an interactive robotic brick-laying workflow using a vision-based sensing framework to inform and optimize brick placements in consecutive layers. The proposed implementation is comprised of three major computational frameworks: (1) digitally reconstructing and analyzing the current state of the assembly, (2) optimizing placement targets based on the digital representation of the environment and desired multi-objective optimization goals, and (3) planning robot motion for the next layer of brick-laying. Within this workflow, the vision-based feedback pipeline simultaneously reconstructs and localizes the already-built assembly. This geometric information constitutes the basis for the multi-objective optimization stage. The placement targets are adaptively calculated to build the next layer upon the existing assembly while optimizing for structural stability, accounting for unforeseen deviations between layers, and allowing for human intervention and modification throughout the process. By proposing an interactive robotic brick-laying workflow, the paper explores the prospects for leveraging the capabilities of robotic pick-and-place technology and integrating it with vision-based sensing frameworks to achieve optimal results in construction. Furthermore, by examining the effectiveness of a multi-objective optimization method as an adaptive design driver, this paper contributes to the development of novel computational strategies that can enhance the flexibility and adaptability of robotic construction systems.

title	Repurposing Material Through Real-Time Point Cloud Reconstruction and Human-Robot Collaboration

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2024.1.183
summary	Human-robot collaboration in construction has become an emerging field in computer-aided construction due to robots' high efficiency and precision performance in simple processes and repetitive tasks. However, the complex construction site environments and diverse shapes of construction materials present challenges for human-robot collaborative construction. Most construction robots lack computer vision recognition and perception of preassembled parts, which require proper positioning and lack interactive capabilities. In this paper, we propose a system called the Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC)to address these challenges and enhance the assembly of construction walls using recycled materials from construction and demolition waste. The HRC system leverages dual Kinect Azure devices for point cloud fusion and employs a segmentation algorithm specifically designed for this purpose. This enables fast and accurate point cloud reconstruction of recycled parts. The control terminal, implemented using the Grasshopper plugin Machina, provides a real-time display of the 3D geometric model of the target structure and the reference grasping points to achieve UR10e robotic assembly. Additionally, the Kinect Azure human body tracking algorithm ensures workers are alerted and stop in time when entering the workspace. Overall, this research presents an enhanced collaborative and sustainable solution for human-robot construction scenarios, ensures the safety of robotics construction, and offers feasibility and guidance for future automation in construction sites.

summary	Advanced manufacturing and robotic fabrication for the housing construction industry is mainly focused on the use of industrial robots in the pre-fabrication stage. Yet to be fully developed is the use on-site of collaborative robots, able to work cooperatively with humans in a range of construction trades. Our study focuses on the trade of carpentry in small-to-medium size enterprises in the Australian construction industry, seeking to understand and identify opportunities in the current workflows of carpenters for the role of collaborative robots. Prior to presenting solutions for this problem, we first developed a novel methodology for the capture and analysis of the body movements of carpenters, resulting in a suite of visual resources to aid us in thinking through where, what, and how a collaborative robot could participate in the carpentry task. We report on the challenges involved, and outline how the results of applying this methodology will inform the next stage of our research.

summary	In this research, we present a system to allow designers to adaptively control an industrial robot from within a 3D modeling environment, for the purpose of real time feedback with respect to visual imagery of the object as well as robot pose during the fabrication process. Our work uses the Kuka industrial robots due to their capability in fabrication and programmability, and the Rhino 3D modeling software with the Grasshopper plugin which allows for visual programming for designers. A Microsoft Kinect sensor is used to provide visual feedback of the part during the fabrication process. We present the methodology used to develop the system, explaining various design and architecture choices made to allow for easy use of our system, while ensuring our system is open to further extension. We also show qualitative results of the fabrication process performed using our system in order to validate that our proposed system improves the interaction and collaboration between designer and robot when performing the task, in contrast to the iterative process that is generally followed.

summary	In spatial timber assemblies, a multitude of factors can lead to errors that hinder the implementation of complete automation including but not limited to inaccuracies of the robotic setup, deformations of the structures during assembly, or the natural dimensional variability of wood. Any unplanned event, construction detail, or material variability that was not embedded ahead of time in the CAD environment can cause failure. To mitigate these challenges, this paper expands this conventional one-directional design-to-fabrication pipeline and proposes interactive digital fabrication workflows where humans and robots work synergistically, blending the adaptability of human craft with the precision of robotic technology. The method is validated with two prototypes comprising linear timber elements and 3d printed connections that showcase adaptability in the fabrication setup and allow for design changes to happen concurrently with fabrication. In this paradigm, human operators are not mere extensions of the robotic system but rather central to dynamic problem-solving and instrumental in making immediate adjustments.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2019.2.705
summary	The research presented in this paper explores a novel tactile sensor technology for architectural assembly tasks. In order to enable robots to interact both with humans and building elements, several robot control strategies had to be implemented. Therefore, we developed a communication interface between the architectural design environment, a tactile sensor and robot controllers. In particular, by combining tactile feedback with real-time gripper and robot control algorithms, we demonstrate grasp adaptation, object shape and texture estimation, slip and contact detection, force and torque estimation. We investigated the integration of robotic control strategies for human-robot interaction and developed an assembly task in which the robot had to place vertical elements underneath a deformed slab. Finally, the proposed tactile feedback controllers and learned skills are combined together to demonstrate applicability and utility of tactile sensing in collaborative human-robot architectural assembly tasks. Users were able to hand over building elements to the robot or guide the robot through the interaction with building elements. Ultimately this research aims to offer the possibility for anyone to interact with built structures through robotic augmentation.

source	Ji-Hyun Lee (Eds.) "Hello, Culture!" [18th International Conference, CAAD Futures 2019, Proceedings / ISBN 978-89-89453-05-5] Daejeon, Korea, p. 186
summary	This paper presents our concept, named Interactive Assemblies, which facilitates interaction between man and machine in construction process in which specially designed building components are used as a design interface. In our setup, users physically manipulate and reposition building components. The components, digitized by means of machine sensing, become a part of the design interface. Each of the three experiments included in this paper examines a different robotic sensor approach that helps transfer of data, including the position and shape of each component, back into the digital model. We investigate combinations of material systems (material computation, selfcorrecting assembly) and matching sensors. The accumulated data serves as input for design algorithms and generates robot tool paths for collaborative fabrication. Using real-world geometry to move from virtual design tools directly to physical interaction and back, our research proposes enhanced participation of human actors in robotic construction processes in architecture.

title	Designing a Dynamically Configurable Digital Twin for Human-Robot Collaboration Tasks: A Case of Working Environment Configuration for the Robotic Lab
source	Nicole Gardner, Christiane M. Herr, Likai Wang, Hirano Toshiki, Sumbul Ahmad Khan (eds.), ACCELERATED DESIGN - Proceedings of the 29th CAADRIA Conference, Singapore, 20-26 April 2024, Volume 3, pp. 381–390
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.3.381
summary	This paper presents a novel Digital Twin scenario for enhancing Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) in the context of Industry 4.0. Traditional HRC environments, characterised by their repetitive and standardised tasks, are limited in adapting to dynamic and custom requirements. We propose a dynamically configurable Digital Twin (DCDT) system, enabling dynamic configuration of virtual HRC workspaces for creative design and prototyping, addressing the limitations of conventional HRC environments confined to repetitive tasks. By integrating AR, the system allows human operators to intuitively interact with robots, planning and simulating robotic trajectories with interactive holographic visualisations. We cooperate with The Design Modelling and Fabrication (DMaF) Lab at The University of Sydney and propose a workflow based on the DCDT system to assist students complete basic robot co-creative drawing programming under routine teaching scenarios. This research underscores the importance of AR in bridging the gap between physical and virtual workspaces, facilitating a flexible and efficient HRC setup. Future work will focus on refining the technology, addressing scalability, and exploring its adaptability to various creative and prototyping domains.

summary	Today, digital cities are being developed all over the world. By using a city metaphor, digital cities integrate urban information and create public spaces. However, human how to entry into the new emerging digital cities, to percept themselves in around cities, and then taking shape the recognition of digital city forms? This paper studied by the viewpoint of cognition in order to explore the structure of the new style spatiality as cyberspace. By exploring the factors of human spatial cognition in physical space to interpret that human how to image and percept the spatial form of digital cities by the spatial experience in physical space, to construct the dual interface of spatial cognition of interaction between digital cities and physical cities.

title	Spatial Cognition in Digital Cities
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 1 - no. 4
summary	Today, digital cities are being developed all over the world. By using a city metaphor, digital cities integrate urban information and create public spaces. However, there are questions as to how to enter the new emerging digital cities, how humans perceive themselves in digital cities, and there are also issues of recognition of the digital city forms? This paper takes the idea of cognition in order to explore the structure of the new spatiality as cyberspace. By exploring the factors relating to human spatial cognition in physical space it is possible to interpret how humans perceive the spatial form of digital cities. By examining spatial experience in physical space, the interface of spatial cognition of interaction between digital cities and physical cities can be investigated. And by taking this approach, we propose an online prototype of a metaphor for a digital city.

title	What’s Happening to Architectural Sketching? - Interviewing architects about transformation from traditional to digital architectural sketching as a communicational tool with clients
source	Pak, B, Wurzer, G and Stouffs, R (eds.), Co-creating the Future: Inclusion in and through Design - Proceedings of the 40th Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2022) - Volume 1, Ghent, 13-16 September 2022, pp. 389–398

summary	The paper discusses 23 interviewed architects in practice about the role of traditional and digital sketching (human-computer interaction) in communication with the client. They were selected from 1995 to 2018 (the interval of graduation) from three different countries: the Czech Republic (CR), Slovakia (SR), Netherland (NR). To realize three blending areas that impact the approach to sketching: (I) Traditional hand and physical model studies (1995-2003). (II)Transition form - designing by hand and PC (2004–2017). (III) Mainly digital and remote forms of designing (2018–now). Interviews helped transform 31 “parameters of tools use” from the previous theoretical framework narrowed down into six main areas: (1) Implementation; (2)Affordability; (3)Timesaving; (4) Drawing support; (5) Representativeness; (6) Transportability. Paper discusses findings from interviewees: (A) Implementation issues are above time and price. (B) Strongly different understanding of what digital sketching is. From drawing in Google Slides by mouse to sketching in Metaverse. (C) Substantial reduction of traditional sketching (down to a total of 3% of the time) at the expense of growing responsibilities. (D) 80% of respondents do not recommend sketching in front of the client. Also, other interesting findings are further described in the discussion.
