Automated Assembly from Digital Design.

- with Corey Wowk & Gonglue Jiang
Our main focus is on the fabrication and assembly techniques of the built form, by means of a fully automated assembly process focusing on the 6-axis robot. By integrating the robot into the assembly process, the technique used to connect adjacent members required a structural performance so that adjoining spherical members are able to become interlocked through a spring-loaded connection. This connection is presumed to be populated throughout the three-dimensional matrix pattern, generating the proposed geometry (as shown in the presentation) In order to create the connection methodology, the assembly system required a prescriptive use of the robotic arm, a stationary router and use of a parametric tools that empowered the design to be translated from a 3D geometry directly to rapid code.
