Flying Robots The Future of Tomorrow
Naturally our designers are always on the look out for new construction techniques, technologies, new products and more often than not we stumble accross research and development so far from traditional methods its mind blowing. So complex, yet so simple.
Check out the latest swiss automation and building methodoligy for laying blocks/bricks in its early stages. Its clear to see the future potential of this technology not just from an automation perspective but as they mention increased efficency which is important as the world moves forward.
The future is happening, and soon. That’s because in the near future a small swarm of flying robots (or maybe just two) will stack polystyrene bricks at the FRAC center into a small structure. The stack’s height might be modest, but this wavy and wonky wall will feature the computational complexity typical of Gramazio and Kohler. The Swiss team has partnered withRaffaello D’Andrea (if you haven’t seen his Robotic Chair, do yourself a favor and click here) to realize this installation that resembles a marriage of architecture and science fiction.
