| summary |
Throughout this paper, we introduce a novel design-driven method for the robotic assembly of unit-based structures. The goal of this research is to establish a method to robotically fabricate discrete structures, using pick-and-place robotic manipulation and customized 3D-printed geometric units. Thus, the methodology allows for the bespoke discretization of architectural solid models into interlocking architectural units. Investigating how design can reduce error in the robotic fabrication process, a significant feature of this research is the application of mechanical coupling for the creation of self-interlocking geometry. This method is able to correct errors in robotic manipulation for the precise robotic fabrication of architectural structures. Reducing errors in the assembly process through the design of geometric units expands the field of architectural robotics to designers. Through a series of assembled architectures, fabricated through both additive and subtractive manufacturing techniques, the research explores the idea of an automated system producing unit-based structures using pick-in-place robotics and digitally fabricated units. |
