Work together with the Universal Collaborative (UR) robot arm to draw paper illustrations from digital designs.
The event will include a brief overview of robot arms, insights into how artists, makers, and designers program them using visual-based scripting software, and will conclude with live interactive demonstrations.
Presented as part of Beyond Optimization: ROB|ARCH Retrospective, on view at InterAccess between Mar 19 - Apr 5, 2025.
ABOUT ROB|ARCH 2024
ROB|ARCH 2024 was hosted in Toronto, Canada, from May 21-25, 2024 as a collaboration between the University of Toronto (UofT) and Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). The conference featured a series of eight workshops and three days of programming, including keynotes by Sougwen Chung, Brian Ringley, and Yusuke Obuchi, and a special session by the Association for Robots in Architecture.
ROB|ARCH 2024 invited leading researchers from around the world to host three-day intensive workshops in Toronto, Canada. Each workshop focused on the creative uses of robotic production, ranging from the testing of architectural interventions to robotic performance and filming to the design of objects and installations. Participants engaged in hands-on explorations while learning how to program the robots and produce the work on display at InterAccess.
