Abstract
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it discusses the potential applications of industrial robots to lead innovative opportunities in architecture. Second, it investigates the basic procedures of controlling and operating a robotic arm. This research seeks to understand the operative methods of industrial robots. Accordingly, a simple hot wire cutter is installed in the robot and tested its features with a foam. Furthermore, a small-scale experimental design with the industrial robot is designed and fabricated. Wall designs with complex geometries are conceptualized. Then, the complex free-form designs with the robot are fabricated. In this experiment, a 6-axis ABB robotic arm with a payload of 10 kg is used for the exploration, and a hot wire is attached to the end effector of the robotic arm.
