Cobotic Matters at CAADRIA 2023

Human-robot collaborative prototyping with a cobotic arm (Mostafavi et al., 2023, DARS lab, DIA Bauahuas and Materiability Research Group, DDD)

Sina Mostafavi presents a peer-published paper titled “COBOTIC MATTERS - Collaborative Robots and Discrete Assembly Design: From Stacking to Self-Interlocking of Reciprocal Components” at the CAADRIA 2023 annual conference for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (https://caadria2023.org/). The paper presents a set of design-to-robotic assembly workflows developed based on the potential of working with collaborative robots. The research is conducted as part of interdepartmental research and builds upon the premise that human-robot collaboration, programable fabrication, and assembly technologies will fundamentally change how we design and build.
