The Master in Robotics and Advanced Construction (MRAC) seeks to train a new generation of interdisciplinary professionals who are capable of facing our growing need for a more sustainable and optimised construction ecosystem. The Master is focused on the emerging design and market opportunities arising from novel robotic and advanced manufacturing systems.
Through a mixture of seminars, workshops, and studio projects, the master programme challenges the traditional processes in the Construction Sector. It investigates how advances in robotics and digital fabrication tools change the way we build and develop processes and design tools for such new production methods.
The aim of this project is to detect and analyse the heat loss in an indoor space. This application can be used to identify thermal bridges, inefficiencies, or holes in a building’s envelope. With further development, this sensor can be integrated into smart home systems to regulate desired heat and humidity thresholds within a space … Read more
PROJECT AIM Design an interactive led wall to maximize human interaction by providing some kind of conversation and movement. DEVELOPMENT PLAN BILL OF MATERIALS PROTOTYPE DESIGN For the prototype, we designed two different components for the sensor exploration, the one in the left we called “HandLED” and the one in the right the “Talking LED … Read more
During this Hardware seminar, we were able to understand different types of sensors used in robotics and the techniques used to process the collected data. The aim of the seminar is to use the sensors to understand the environment and then expect the robot to take decisions (automation) and carry a specific task (actuation). For … Read more
An interactive art installation that utilizes thermal imaging and real-time animation to create a captivating visual experience. The general aim of the project “Thermal Rhythm” was to generate an interactive art-wall in complete darkness which translates the human body movements into animations that controls or visualizes the emotions of the detected person through different colors … Read more
