REFURBISHED ROBOTS IN LARGE-SCALE 3D PRINTING: ARCHITECTURE, MOLDS, AND FUNCTIONAL ART

Until a few years ago, 3D printing was seen as a technology limited to small prototypes or lightweight parts. However, the industrial reality has shifted: today, everything from casting moulds and aerospace components to urban sculptures and architectural structures is being printed. Behind this quiet revolution stands an unexpected protagonist: refurbished industrial robots, transformed into…

INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS IN ART: CREATIVITY, PRECISION AND ACCESSIBLE TECHNOLOGY WITH RETROFITTED ROBOTICS

INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS IN ART: CREATIVITY, PRECISION AND ACCESSIBLE TECHNOLOGY WITH RETROFITTED ROBOTICS

There are times when engineering steps out of the factory and enters unexpected territories. One of these is art. What once seemed impossible — that an industrial robot could take part in an artistic creation — is now a reality in museums, biennials, universities, and creative laboratories around the world. Robotic arms no longer just…

THE FUSION OF ART AND ROBOTICS: CREATIVE MAPPING WITH KUKA KR AGILUS

THE FUSION OF ART AND ROBOTICS: CREATIVE MAPPING WITH KUKA KR AGILUS

The relationship between art and technology has always been a wellspring of innovation. In recent years, industrial robots have evolved beyond their traditional role in manufacturing to become collaborators in contemporary art. One of the most striking trends in this interdisciplinary fusion is robotic projection mapping—a technique that uses robotic arms to control projectors with…

3D PRINTING IS REDEFINING CONSTRUCTION: LESS MATERIALS, MORE INNOVATION

3D PRINTING IS REDEFINING CONSTRUCTION: LESS MATERIALS, MORE INNOVATION

The construction industry is experiencing an unprecedented transformation thanks to automation and 3D printing. Companies like BAM, in collaboration with Weber Beamix, are implementing this technology to optimize processes, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact. This advance not only improves project efficiency but also redefines the future of construction with more sustainable and adaptable structures….

THE IMPRESSIVE AND TALENTED SWEDISH COMPOSER FREDRIK GRAN HAS CREATED A MUSICAL ROBOT CAPABLE OF PLAYING TWO INSTRUMENTS.

THE IMPRESSIVE AND TALENTED SWEDISH COMPOSER FREDRIK GRAN HAS CREATED A MUSICAL ROBOT CAPABLE OF PLAYING TWO INSTRUMENTS.

From Stockholm, Sweden, comes composer Fredrik Gran. In addition to exploring new performance techniques, he is intrigued by the musical possibilities of mechanical processes. He studied composition at the Stockholm Academy of Music and at McGill University in Montreal. His doctoral work is linked to the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology….
