Responsive Textile: CNC knitting and Pneumatic system

The responsive textile prototype employs CNC textile technology and a pneumatic system, utilizing pre-programmed routines and sensors to collect user behavior data (e.g., pressure). This data actuates the expansion of silicone tubes embedded within the textile, allowing it to respond to user interactions.

Project NameRobotic Brick Assembly

The study focuses on traditional brick walls featuring holes and special arrangements as the primary object of investigation. Through the examination of brickwork methods, a novel assembly pattern is proposed that utilizes computational design to influence block laying and subsequently alter the arrangement of holes.

Bridge Robotic Fabrication

The 3D Printed Bridge project aims to identify the most effective system for fabricating a 3D printed bridge. Research commenced by examining several existing 3D printed bridge projects, highlighting the significant challenge posed by lengthy printing processes. As a result, the primary goal was established as reducing 3D printing time through structural analysis and topology optimization.
