Learning to build covering structures with continuous adjustments
Gabriel Vallat, Maryam Kamgarpour, Stefana Parascho
Robotic construction offers the potential to use materials more efficiently and create complex geometries, but current methods rely on rigid, high-precision plans that cannot accom…
Learning to Build: Autonomous Robotic Assembly of Stable Structures Without Predefined Plans
Jingwen Wang, Johannes Kirschner, Paul Rolland +2
This paper presents a novel autonomous robotic assembly framework for constructing stable structures without relying on predefined architectural blueprints. Instead of following fi…
DiffCheck: a Scan-CAD Evaluation Tool for Digital Manufacturing and Assembly Processes in Timber Construction
Andrea Settimi, Damien Gilliard, Eleni Skevaki +4
In digital timber construction, scanning technologies and point cloud data are widely used due to the accessibility of affordable 3D sensors, photogrammetry, and user-friendly CAD…
Constrained Form-Finding of Tension-Compression Structures using Automatic Differentiation
Rafael Pastrana, Patrick Ole Ohlbrock, Thomas Oberbichler +2
This paper proposes a computational approach to form-find pin-jointed, bar structures subjected to combinations of tension and compression forces. The generated equilibrium states…
Robotic additive construction of bar structures: Unified sequence and motion planning
Yijiang Huang, Caelan Garrett, Ian Ting +2
Additive robotic construction of building-scale discrete bar structures, such as trusses and space frames, is increasingly attractive due to the potential improvements in efficienc…
Three Cooperative Robotic Fabrication Methods for the Scaffold-Free Construction of a Masonry Arch
Edvard P. G. Bruun, Rafael Pastrana, Vittorio Paris +4
Geometrically complex masonry structures (e.g., arches, domes, vaults) are traditionally built with expensive scaffolding or falsework to provide stability during construction. The…
Numerical modeling of static equilibria and bifurcations in bigons and bigon rings
Tian Yu, Lauren Dreier, Francesco Marmo +3
In this study, we explore the mechanics of a bigon and a bigon ring from a combination of experiments and numerical simulations. A bigon is a simple elastic network consisting of t…
