Intelligent Prototyping using Robot & Arduino

by
MaAI-01 2024-2025
FABRICATED PROTOTYPES & DESIGN ANALYSISIn this project, our group explored the integration of parametric modeling, robotic fabrication, and data-driven analysis to optimize clay-based 3D printing. We began by generating two vase geometries using Grasshopper and subsequently fabricated these designs with an ABB 120 robotic arm extruding clay. Throughout the process, we recorded both visual documentation ... Read more

Integrating Robotics and Microcontrollers in Architecture: From 3D-Printed Clay Pots to Seismic Safety

by
MaAI-02 2024-2025

Abstract: In this class on Intelligent Prototyping within the MaAI program, we explored two distinct approaches to prototyping: 3D printing with robotic arms and real-time sensing with microcontrollers. Using parametric modeling tools, specifically Grasshopper, we designed and fabricated a series of 3D-printed clay pots. These included small, medium, and large-scale pots, with a focus on … Read more
