Assistant Professor David Correa from University of Waterloo, Director of Technology Oliver David Krieg from Intelligent City, and Associate Professor AnnaLisa Meyboom from UBC SALA, will hold a technical workshop on robotic fabrication in collaboration with UBC Centre for Advanced Wood Processing (CAWP).
Using
a
state-of-the-art
eight-axis
industrial
robotic
work
cell
in
the
CAWP
pilot
manufacturing
pilot,
the
workshop
will
guide
participants
through
the
unique
technical
and
conceptual
foundations
that
underpin
robotic
milling
in
wood
through
the
development
and
construction
of
a
full-scale
fabrication
project.
While many industries have made leaps and bounds in adopting highly flexible and fully automated fabrication workflows using robotics, the construction and design industry are only just starting to open the door to these technologies. Recent developments in robotics combined with more accessible design-to-fabrication tools can now offer architects, designers and fabricators unprecedented access to a new design paradigm. We are pleased to welcome two experts to share their knowledge and experience with students and practicing architects here at UBC.
