ABSTRACT

The benefits of having robots could vastly outweigh the problems. (Rodney Brooks 2002)
While the synergy between parametric design and robotic fabrication seems to get even closer, the
robotical assembly is mostly impossible without the help of the human touch. That teaches us that
we are still at the beginning of autonomous fabrication. To find the right connection-element to be
assembled by the robot, we have to find solutions, which are time and material-efficient . The con-
necting element has to be also “flexible“ enough to react on different types, needs and dimensions
of different connection-nodes for a complex construction. In the first term, the connection has to
present better solutions in the limitations of the robotic movements and reachability to difficult
assembly-nodes. Finally it can lead to new dimensions of complex structure assembly for big scale
architecture. The connection between elements has to be no longer thougth in terms of human
craft, as in the evolution of robotic craft.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

READINGS

For the next steps of my research I have to read a couple of papers handling with all these topics you see in the following diagram. They all affect the sense of Injected joinery as a novel kind of joinerys in construction industry

MOST IMPORTANT PAPER

TO BE CONTINUED …

In the following two terms I get a step deeper to analyze the the different aspects of injected Joinerys as a senseful novel innovation in contruction industry.
