Design and assembly automation of the Robotic Reversible Timber Beam

The field of architecture is more and referring to wood as a sustainable solution for satisfying the need new buildings while offsetting carbon emissions. In parallel, research in Robotic Timber Construction (RTC) has evolved rapidly, focusing both on fabrication assembly processes order improve productivity construction industry extend production digital chain. This paper presents an original workflow automation from design layered robotic reversible timber structures, aided by human-robot collaboration. An advanced non-standard structures established, shifting focus towards kit discrete elements into larger configurations that can be reconfigured time. Linked this, collaborative robots are employed grasping, positioning fixing elements, with introduction multi-phase end effector connects through joinery. As such, work introduces fundamental manufacturing concepts automated process extends material life cycle wood, consequently, its store. enhancement here achieved (1) integration feedback system based location force signals, (2) human collaboration provide immediate assistance robot case signals do not match defined conditions. various developments applied demonstrator which crystallizes design, constructional, inputs physical output, discussed multiple viewpoints, delineate relevant areas future studies.
