Studio

Robotics

Consultancy and development for robotic assembly, digital manufacture and the machines behind them.

We help practices and manufacturers put robots to work on architecture: planning the process, writing the instructions and, where nothing suitable exists, building the machine.

Our experience runs from industrial ABB and KUKA arms to small mechatronic machines of our own, programmed through G-code, ROS 2 and custom Grasshopper workflows.

Talk to us about robotic fabrication

Work

  1. Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, 2025, group project

    Self-supporting timber structures

    Rings of 38 by 38 by 2000 millimetre timber sticks, stacked and interlocked without screws or supports and placed by an ABB arm with minimal intervention, until the structure stood on its own through tension and compression.

    • A finished self-supporting ring of timber sticks
    • The stacking layout of the sticks
    • The robot, timber and foam block used in fabrication
  2. Archiologics, 2025

    Robotic assembly of facade modules

    The facade detailing pipeline ended in instructions for industrial robots: pick and place, cut, screw and fix, generated from the coordinated model so a design change reached the factory without redrawing.

  3. In development

    Millforms

    A robot arm for milling and forming at architectural scale, designed and specified in-house.

  4. In development

    PenX

    A CoreXY drawing machine with a force-controlled pen head, running Klipper and driven from Grasshopper, built to draw at constant pressure.
