Bio-Inspired Behavioural Additive Construction: Teaching Robots How to Build Like Nature

ReconWood © CREATE

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Nature has evolved sophisticated construction methods for millions of years, building highly sustainable structures with minimal use of computational and material resources. Learning from biological species that 3D print their shelters, this project discovers the behavioural principles of Nature´s additive construction and establishes a new paradigm where architectural robots autonomously design and build material-efficient structures. The grant funds two PhD students, one postdoc, and equipment.
