Fab Bots 2.0
Material Matters Influenced by an autonomous-deposition machine we started speculating about a mechanic fabrication on-site using the site`s material (sand). The task of the machine is to re-arrange the existing surfaces by collecting from one node and depositing from the other, piling sand. Once the surface is arranged glue is poured on strategic points of [...]
Our first thought was how to use the movement as a source of information and interaction with a machine. We decided to use a color as a source of interaction and real data creating an image of this stimulus on a physical result. The machine works with 4 main steps: IMPUT_color stimulus, CAMERA-Screen_to identify the [...]
the “light detector” is the outcome of the workshop in digital tectonics 2011 at Iaac . By taking apart a basic printer and reusing its motors in combination with some laser cut MDF parts and a microcontroller we finally succeeded in transforming the old printer into a light mapping device which could both map light [...]
