To assist humans around the house, robots will need to be able to deal with the unfamiliar. But while researchers can preprogram robots to do increasingly sophisticated tasks, they face a much bigger challenge in teaching them to adapt to unstructured environments. A robot developed at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, however, is [...]

AltN research has been working with roboFold to develop a new method of sheet metal forming which does not require any forms or tooling. In this method, material is simply scored on curved fold-paths and bent into form using 6axis robots. One of the advantages of this method is that different parts can [...]

After a few months planning and design we finally launched the first beta of the Scripting Reference Database @ the Institut of Experimental Architecture in Innsbruck. The goal was to develop a comprehensive database of scripts and references for architecture. The goal is for it to become a hub of information generated by [...]

In addition to the ongoing workshop and scripting reference database development, I gave a lecture on my current work on custom script controllers, AI based architectural agents and production development with robofold
