Soft Pneumatic Robotic Architectural System: Prefabricated Inflatable Module-Based Cybernetic Adaptive Space Model Manipulated Through Human-System Interaction
Proceedings of the 2022 DigitalFUTURES The 4st International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2022)
summary
In this paper, a cybernetic adaptive space model based on prefabricated inflatable modules and physical interaction manipulation is introduced. The research aimed to redefine an intelligent and organic trend of residing and working by providing an adjustable and performative space system. The conjunction of human-space interaction, as well as the soft and hard architectural elements adaptive to dynamic living modalities and environmental conditions, are included in the methodology. The datasets based on the human body posture are collected through IMU sensors to provide coding inputs for defining modular inflatable structures, which anticipate generating heterogeneous morphological variations apt for flexible scenarios. The elaborated pre-fabricated samples successfully conform to the expected inflating behavior through silicone patterns. The results demonstrated the possibility of future architecture as an unrestrained configuration. Integrating the shape-shifting space within modular manufacturing and interactive technology can deprive the performance of many constraints. It can render a responsive ecosystem through a behavioral transformation of the in-habitants.
