Participated in the production and platform integration of a segmented timber shell roof. This included machine health monitoring and the implementation of six end effectors for the assembly and machining of 1,090 individual cassettes.
Digital and computational methods supported the design-to-fabrication workflow, including task-based path planning for the KUKA 420.
