SUMMARY:ROB|ARCH 2014
DESCRIPTION: \nROB|ARCH has been initiated by the Association for Rob
 ots in Architecture as a new conference series on the use of robotic f
 abrication in architecture, art, and design, closely linking industry 
 with cutting-edge research institutions. In December 2012 the conferen
 ce was hosted by its founders in Vienna, Austria.\nIn 2014 the confere
 nce travels to North America, hosted by the University of Michigan Tau
 bman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.Continuing with the pr
 evious theme of collaboration, the conference seeks to bring togeth ar
 tists, designers, fabricators and industry leaders for the purpose of 
 advancing the discourse surrounding robotic fabrication. Following on 
 the success of ROB|ARCH 2012, the conference will again present a seri
 es of workshops held at select research institutions on the east coast
  of the United States, aimed at exposing the advanced capabilities of 
 applied robotic research.Following the workshops, the conference will 
 span two days at the University of Michigan Campus in Ann Arbor, Michi
 gan, about an hour outside of Detroit, the origin of robotics in North
 America. The internationally renowned publishing house Springer Wien/N
 ew York will publish and market the proceedings of the conference worl
 dwide.\nRobots in Architecture, Art, and Design Industrial robots are 
 the ultimate flexible manufacturing tools. Designers are taking this t
 o heart;contemporary research and production via robotic fabrication b
 orrows from more mature manufacturing industries in order to accelerat
 e the translation from “design to production”. Whereas task-specif
 ic machine tools support the efficiencies of mass-production, robotic 
 workcells can be reconfigured, allowing a generic machine to perform a
  wide range oftasks. What robots may lack in extreme precision, they r
 apidly recover in “intelligence”….cooperative, closed-loop produ
 ction cells now learn and adjust their technique in real-time. At the 
 other end of the scale, robots are emerging as in-situ construction to
 ols, achieving the dexterity to perform an active role in direct, on s
 ite fabrication challenges.  The FABLab at the Taubman College is a re
 cognized leader in architectural fabrication research, specifically wi
 th large scale automation and CNC equipment. Building on 4 years of wo
 rk with robotic equipment, the Lab recently expanded to increase the a
 vailability and scope of its resources. For the ROB|ARCH conference th
 e Lab will host 4 separate workshops, including a cooperative workcell
  with 2x Kr120 HA robots on linear axes, 2x Agilus Kr6 robots, 1x KR10
 0HAL90 robot, and an additional space for a workshop specific, multi-r
 obot workcell. Additional workshops will be hosted at select peer inst
 itutions nearby.  Association for Robots in Architecture The internati
 onal Association for Robots in Architecture is originally a spin off a
 ssociation of Vienna University of Technology. Its goal is to make ind
 ustrial robots accessible for the creative industry, artists, designer
 s and architects, by sharing ideas, research results and technological
  developments.\n\nFor more information visit https://www.grasshopper3d
