Automation

Autonomous Fabrication Systems (AFS) leverages the power of robotics, to make fabrication workflows that are more efficient, cost-effective, and secure. AFS applies artificial intelligence and machine learning, to further optimize processes and maximize efficiency. These systems are also being integrated into other industries, such as last-mile logistics and the metaverse.

Y-Chair

The Y-Chair is an innovative chair designed to be adaptable, space efficient, and playful. It leverages modern fabrication techniques that utilize robotics and automation to create complex structures with precision, without compromising design.

Argyle Beams

The Argyle Beams uses a novel approach to improve the load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete beams in construction, with a focus on sustainability and cost-effectiveness. It involves a cantilever beam as the primary structural element, using a modular layout and robot-assisted bending of rebar.

Computating Informal Settlements

Computing Informal Settlements uses drones and photogrammetry to improve living standards and construction safety in informal settlements. By automating the collection and analysis of urban data, decision-makers can use the insights gained to enhance conditions for informal settlements worldwide.

WanDL

WanDL explores modular building parts for rapid fabrication and assembly to increase the efficiency of construction processes. This initiative arises from the urgent need to provide buildings to the rapidly growing global population in the 21st century.
