Description for Autonomous Assembly: Designing for a New Era of Collective Construction
Paperback. Series: Architectural Design. Num Pages: 144 pages. BIC Classification: AM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 210 x 170. .
We are now on the brink of a new era in construction that of autonomous assembly. For some time, the widespread adoption of robotic and digital fabrication technologies has made it possible for architects and academic researchers to design non-standard, highly customised structures. These technologies have largely been limited by scalability, focusing mainly on top-down, bespoke fabrication projects, such as experimental pavilions and structures. Autonomous assembly and bottom-up construction techniques hold the promise of greater scalability, adaptability and potentially evolved design possibilities. By capitalising on the advances made in swarm robotics, the collective construction of the animal/insect kingdom, and advances ... Read more
