Robotic Technologies for Non-Standard Design and Construction in Architecture

Abstract

In November 2015, the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Porto and the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science concluded a 2-year research project on the use of robotic fabrication technologies in architecture and building construction. Funded by the national Foundation of Science and Technology, this was a unique and vibrant experience on a new research field for the two institutions. This paper provides a brief description of the research project and its results.
