(A) (Fab Lab) Body

The intricate interplay between skeletons and muscles orchestrates the harmonious movement and functionality of the human body.

In this project, the primary objective entailed the development of a meticulously designed piece capable of being assembled using a robotic arm provided by Universal Robots. The design process focused on intricate aspects, including organic assembly, spherical clusters, scale management, system integration, geometric tolerance, and the intricate structures involved. Leveraging the computational prowess of Rhino and Grasshopper, alongside the aid of the Topos plug-in, the piece was meticulously designed to seamlessly amalgamate these design considerations, culminating in an aesthetically captivating and technologically advanced creation.

Each piece was 3D printed in PLA plastic. For the robotic assembly, the team designed a series of swappable grippers. These grippers were to function without any electrical feature.

I was responsible of the design of the elements as well as the design of the claw gripper.

In collaboration with: Andrea Oseguera, Carolina Martinez.

3D Printed, assembled with thread in joints. Installed in the robotic arm, works with a system of weight + thread + rotation (no electrical components needed)

By harnessing the potential of computational tools, architects can unleash their limitless creativity.
