Welcome to the AR-HRC_CAADRIA2024_Workshop wiki!
The introduction of collaborative robotics opened up the possibility for architectural designers to design and fabricate safely in a shared environment. This could bring significant changes in Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) as it challenges the conventional linear design process adopted in many architectural design practices, empowering architectural designers to be involved in the design-fabrication process. However, these technologies often communicate through teach pendant or other complex graphical user interfaces (GUI) requiring expert domain knowledge, hampering the user experience in the realm of the physical design-fabrication process. The maturation of AR technology offers a more natural and intuitive manner of communicating with these robotic systems. This workshop explores how AR could facilitate a hybrid approach, combining human and robot collaboration in fabrication. This approach embraces 'human-in-the-loop' design and fabrication workflows, seeking to utilise human intelligence and machine capacities and incorporating participation from designers and fabricators. By integrating human skills alongside machine capabilities through AR interface, there is potential to overcome existing challenges and unlock new levels of innovation within the AEC sector.
No robotic fabrication, computation design or AR platform development is required. However, the workshop attendee would have to wear covered shoes throughout the workshop and bring their own workstation.
