Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures: From computational design to robotic construction
This poster provides an overview of the challenges and achievements related to current research led at the Laboratory for Timber Constructions (IBOIS, EPFL) on the robotic assembly of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures (IATPS). The poster is divided into two columns corresponding to the two main parts of the research. On the left, the “Computational Design” part summarizes the key points of the development of Manis – a collaborative design tool for IATPS that integrates fabrication and assembly constraints as well as feedback on the structural performance. On the right, the “Robotic construction” part addresses the experiments carried out to determine an optimal shape for timber joints so that they can be inserted with a robotic arm with a minimum of tolerance. Ultimately, the research aims to provide a fully automated workflow from design to construction in order to foster the adoption of this all-wood construction system by AEC stakeholders.
