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.
Aerial Reforestation Using Autonomous Drones Desertification threatens 74% of Spain’s land, worsened by deforestation and wildfires. To aid reforestation, this project develops an open-source drone for autonomous terrain analysis and seed dispersal. Using the Holybro X500 V2, it integrates SLAM for mapping and navigation. Initial work focused on hardware setup and autonomous flight. Future steps … Read more
