Man-Machine Collaboration

Fabrication Information Model

3D scanned wooden lamellas served as input for computational tools to finalize a design and create toolpaths for the robotic placement of rods. The research combines methods of machine vision, physical interfaces and man-machine collaboration to restructure workflows in the process of design and construction. 

TASK SAHPING

The designer engaged with wooden lamellas and a computational tool to build a demonstrator, illustrating a clear division of tasks in a man-machine collaboration. Moving from parametric design tools directly to physical interfaces using real-world geometry, our research proposes a stronger participation of human actors within digital fabrication environments.
