Programminhalt
Frühjahrstagung
20.-21. MÄRZ 2026
Autonome Montage im Holzbau
Samstag, 21.März
11:00 bis 11:45 Uhr
Vortrag:
In diesem Vortrag werden Methoden zum computerbasierten Entwerfen und robotischen Assemblieren von räumlichen Stabtrag- und Plattenwerken vorgestellt. Anhand von drei Forschungsprojekten werden wir die am Lehrstuhl Gramazio Kohler Research entwickelten Algorithmen und Robotersysteme sowie deren Möglichkeiten und Limitationen kennenlernen. Darüber hinaus geben wir einen kurzen Einblick in die Open-Source Python Bibliothek COMPAS.
