AIM
This seminar provides basic knowledge for architectural design and fabrication with industrial robots. How can we use our digital drawing for a subsequent digital assembly? What is needed to instruct a robot arm to perform tasks involving movement and actions like picking and placing objects? What information needs to be put in the drawing and how does it need to be translated to be understood by a robot controller?
TOPIC
The topic of this seminar is building your parametric design by using an industrial robot arm. To achieve that, you will learn basic acknowledgment of grasshopper and Rhinoceros, use our software Robot Components and ABB Robotstudio to simulate a robotic 6-axis arm, and finally build a structure on small scale with the ABB industrial robot arm. There are often many unexpected problems in the process from theory to practice, such as accuracy issues, singularity problems in robotics, and features of different materials. In this seminar, students will find and solve those problems, so that they can be considered in advance in future designs.
SEMESTER PLAN
To be announced on moodle.
REQUIREMENTS & INSCRIPTIONS
Basic knowledge of grasshopper and high school mathematics is helpful but not a must.
PLACE
Discord video conferences (link on Moodle) and In-person lectures and meetings.
