Aim
To explore innovative parametric tiling designs through the utilization of robotic tiling setups. The project aim is to utilize the functions of COMPAS framework and its extensions for robotic planning. Also, to incorporate computer vision and scanning information into the tiling process to enhance precision and efficiency.
Design Logic
Inspired by the idea of unique artistic shapes, we crafted elegant pieces together using 3 different sizes and shape types, and 3 different colours, this caused 9 different iterations of design. With this unique plethora of designs, we could go forth with more creative freedom in nesting.

Filter Steps
When scanning tiles, we can split them out with colour filters. Red, White and Blue. We then apply filters such as gaussian, closing and gradient. We then calculate area and write all the data to csv; [x, y, z, colour, diameter, area]. We then send this across on a ROS topic to grasshopper from python.

Fabrication Setup
Fabrication Sorting
After sorting we we we adjust the picking patterns. We coordinate it by doing one colour at a time and placing each to fit the design from a fixed orientation.
