The book presents research from Rob Arch 2018 the fourth international conference on robotic
fabrication in architecture art and design. In capturing the myriad of scientific advances in
robotics fabrication that are currently underway ¿ such as collaborative design tools
computerised materials adaptive sensing and actuation advanced construction on-site and
cooperative robotics machine-learning human-machine interaction large-scale fabrication and
networked workflows to name but a few ¿ this compendium reveals how robotic fabrication is
becoming a driver of scientific innovation cross-disciplinary fertilization and creative
capacity of an unprecedented kind.
