Augmented Fabrications

A new control model for synchronous robotics

  • Conference paper
Rob | Arch 2012

Abstract

This paper proposes a new model for robotic motion control called “esperanto” which uses an animation-based approach in tandem with a software component called “charla” (written in Python) which tracks the position and orientation of multiple objects, machines, and tools in space. The paper posits that an animated time-based approach offers new opportunities for architectural representation and creative speculation. In addition, the authors discuss the inherent complexities in robotic collaboration and the need for a flexible and reconfigurable platform to quickly test different ideas.
