“…Using this information, the designer manually guides a robot through the paths while the robot maintains the particular constraints of the fabrication method. 16 These studies transform the robot into a mediator between the physical and the digital world allowing the designer to engage directly with the material akin to craft processes enhanced by the ability of the computer to manage complex performance criteria in what Johns calls 'highly informed design'. 14 In contrast with the methods summarised above, the framework presented in this article is novel in its emphasis on the robots as active agents through the design process with the ability to influence and change how designers think and approach the design task.…”

The research described in this article utilises a phase-changing material, three-dimensional scanning technologies and a six-axis industrial robotic arms as vehicles to enable a novel framework where robotic technology is utilised as an 'amplifier' of the design process to realise geometries that derive from both constructive visions and architectural visions through iterative feedback loops between them. The robot in this scenario is not a fabrication tool but the enabler of an environment where the material, robotic and human agencies interact. This article describes the exploratory research for the development of a dialogic design process, sets the framework for its implementation, carries out an evaluation based on designer use and concludes with a set of observations. One of the main findings of this article is that a deeper collaboration that acknowledges the potential of these tools, in a learning-by-design method, can lead to new choreographies for architectural design and fabrication.

“…Recently, Schwartz et al 5 developed a new technology-based framework that enables voice control, co-speech gestures, and object recognition, thereby aiming to "expose how robots can be turned into intelligent assistive devices that can adapt to human complex operations, changing environment parameters, and even unforeseen situations." 5 In their paper "Sensors and Workflow Evolutions," Dubor et al 6 explore a series of case studies to discuss the relevance of feedback loops and to propose a framework for human interaction and machine response. In that paper, they conclude that "collaboration between robots and human can enhance creativity and innovation by supporting designer and researcher while exploring complex material system."…”

This study seeks to identify key aspects for increased integration of interactive robotics within the creative design process. Through its character as foundational research, the study aims to contribute to the advancement of new explorative design methods to support architects in their exploration of fabrication and assembly of an integrated performance-driven architecture. The article describes and investigates a proposed design framework for supporting an interactive human–robot design process. The proposed framework is examined through a 3-week architectural studio, with university master students exploring the design of a brick construction with the support of an interactive robotic platform. Evaluation of the proposed framework was done by triangulation of the authors’ qualitative user observations, quantitative logging of the students’ individual design processes, and through questionnaires completed after finishing the studies. The result suggests that interactive human–robot fabrication is a relevant mode of design with positive effect on the process of creative design exploration.

“…Designers and artists has further developed workflows to bridge the gap between digital and material worlds, with an aim to automate the materialisation of CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) files. Automatic 'File-tofactory' is not a barrier anymore [12], but at the same time it is a subject of further research and development. • Design and model the product using CAD parametric design software; for this purpose Rhinoceros3D is often used.…”

Abstract. Research on small-scale 3D printing has rapidly evolved, where numerous industrial products have been tested and successfully applied. Nonetheless, research on large-scale 3D printing, directed to large-scale applications such as construction and automotive manufacturing, yet demands a great a great deal of efforts. Large-scale 3D printing is considered an interdisciplinary topic and requires establishing a blended knowledge base from numerous research fields including structural engineering, materials science, mechatronics, software engineering, artificial intelligence and architectural engineering. This review article summarizes key topics of relevance to new research trends on large-scale 3D printing, particularly pertaining (1) technological solutions of additive construction (i.e. the 3D printers themselves), (2) materials science challenges, and (3) new design opportunities.
