Busy week for the Chair of Individualized Production in Architecture

It was a busy week for us. Professor Sigrid Brell-Cokcan presented our paper Towards New Robotic Design Tools at ACADIA 2016 which was hosted by the University of Michigan Taubman College in Ann Arbor. This paper was written together with Johannes Braumann of Robots in Architecture and covers the use of collaborative robots for the creative industry.

Meanhile Sven Stumm was in Prague where we had been invited to Cafe Neu Romance, the worlds first international robot performance festival. Here he gave a lecture on our work on haptic programming and interactive learning which we use to bring human and robotic work closer together.

At the same time Elisa Lublasser was in Munich at the IAARC Academy on Advanced Construction and Building Technology for Society. Here she presented the research into facade deconstruction that we have been performing together with Prof. Thomas Bock from the Chair of Building Realisation and Robotics at TU Munich.

And lastly Daniel Haarhoff luckily did not have to travel far for the MTM and Robotics 2016 in Aachen. He presented the work we have been performing together with Prof. Dirk Abel of the Institute of Automatic Control in a paper titled Actuator design for stabilising single tendon platforms.
