INTEGRATION OF ROBOTICS IN ART

INTEGRATION OF ROBOTICS IN ART

Robotics is an artistic medium that uses computer-controlled robots to produce works that incorporate movement, interaction and exploration. Robotics-based art investigates the potential and limitations of AI, autonomy and human-machine interaction. Tinguely and Paik, who developed musical robots and kinetic sculptures, were among the pioneers in this field throughout the 20th century. Since then, robotics…

THE MAGIC OF ROBOTS IN ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN: THE BEST EXAMPLES

THE MAGIC OF ROBOTS IN ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN: THE BEST EXAMPLES

Robots have become useful tools for architecture, construction and research. Thanks to digitalisation and computational logic, architecture has experienced a paradigm shift. Robots are physical, efficient and precise machines that share our spaces and produce quality products through repetitive tasks. With these robots we can create innovative building systems and processes. By using these tools…

ROBOTS OR CNC FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING IN METAL

ROBOTS OR CNC FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING IN METAL

Additive manufacturing (AM) of metals has transformed the industrial sector by making it possible to produce elaborate and complicated parts more quickly and affordably. However, post-processing these parts imposes time and resource constraints that can negate the benefits of AM. The first difficult but essential step in the post-processing of metal AM components is the…
