Unlocking Robotic Design
Sigrid Brell-Cokcan, Robots In Architecture
Industrial robots – or robotic arms – are highly complex kinematicmachines with six or more axes that, similar to a human arm, canbe equipped with different tools. This multifunctionality along withtheir many degrees of freedom enables robotic arms to performtasks that go far beyond the scope of regular CNC machines orCAD-CAM processes. Especially the creative industry is interested insuch machines, as it enables the fabrication of new geometries aswell as the implementation of new fabrication processes. However,most software for programming robotic arms is aimed at facilitatingmass production, while the creative industry requires new and flexiblesolutions that enable customized fabrication in smaller numbers. Thus,new approaches are required to model innovative robotic processesfor architectural prototypes. KUKA|prc (parametric robot control) isdesigned as an accessible interface that links the parametric modellingenvironment of Grasshopper and Dynamo with KUKA robots.
