Robotic Fabrication

Robotic Fabrication in digital construction uses robots to build things directly from digital plans, which means shapes and structures can be made that are very hard to do by hand. Robots can place materials like bricks, concrete, or timber in exact spots, following 3D models from a computer. This helps designers try new ideas, like curved walls or patterns, because the robot follows the digital plan very closely. Sensors on the robots can check if everything is going right during building, so mistakes are found early. This way, designers can see their digital ideas turn into real buildings with more control and fewer surprises.
