Robotics Lab
The DMaF Lab supports student work and research in robotics to explore novel design and fabrication techniques in the architecture and construction industries.
This space provides staff, students and collaborators with access to robotic arms along with the expertise of our technical staff.
Our Lab.
The Robotics Lab has Kuka and UR robotic arms available for use:
KR6 R900, KR10 R1100, KR60, KR120, LBR iiwa
UR10e, UR5e
The Robotics Lab supports robotic fabrication electives and run various Fabrication Sessions throughout the semester to provide an opportunity for students to design and make with the robots.
Robotics Introduction Tour
on DMaF Hub in Canvas
Sign up for our Robotics Introduction Tour to access the Robotics Lab, consultation and for booking the facilities. Make sure you complete the DMaF Online Site Induction beforehand and come into the Lab with enclosed shoes.
Open to all students at the Sydney School of Architecture Design and Planning.
Accessing the Robot Lab.
To access the Robotics Lab, join our Robotics Introduction Tour available in Robotics Module in DMaF Hub.
The Tour introduces students to various robotic applications in architecture, construction and interaction design fields. We will also share physical prototypes and projects completed by students in the Lab.
Once you have completed your tour:
Book a consultation session with a technician, and bring any sketches, drawings, prototypes or renders to help realise your project.
Programming.
Developing skills sets that adopt traditional craftsmanship for current state-of-the-art technologies such as robotic fabrication, plays an important role for researchers, practice and industry.
Research.
Robotics research-led design electives that are part of architectural studies at the University introduces undergraduate and postgraduate students to robotic 2D and 3D processes.
Robotics Lab Gallery
The use of robotic fabrication in architecture and construction has grown rapidly over the last 15 years, and continues to accelerate as the potential for innovation using robots is harnessed by the creative industries.
Giving students access to these processes allows us to shape future generations of architects and increase Australia’s competitiveness in architecture & creative robotics.
