Origami and tesselation patterns as researched by Ron Resch. THis movie shows his process.

Responsive Kinematics

This is an architectural design project that began through conversations with Ron Resch in December 2008 regarding kinetic and kinematic structural systems. The goal was to create a mutable structural surface out of rigid bodies that can be controlled to adapt to changing conditions and parameters. Unlike much parametric design that is pre-adapted to a given desire, this system offers the potential for continual adjustment.

Moving Blocks










Researchers at Cornell University demonstrate a robotic system of block-modules that can self-replicate if new blocks are fed into the system. Research team: Viktor Zykov, Efstathios Mytilinaios, Bryant Adams, and Hod Lipson.

RV Prototype: GL FORM


RV PROTOTYPE House is a 1/5th scale model of a house that increases living space by rotating in two axes on a robotic base. In addition to a floor in one orientation, one wall and the ceiling surface can be rotated as new floors. 150m2 of living surface is realized within a 60m2 footprint. Made of a lightweight cored carbon fiber fabric the entire shell weighs less than 50 kilos allowing it to rotate freely.

Bot & Dolly




Bot & Dolly is a design and engineering studio that specializes in automation, robotics, and filmmaking. It’s our mission to advance motion control and automation as a creative medium, and build world-class tools that enable others to do the same. At the core of our technology is an integrated software/hardware platform that provides precise and expressive control of 6-axis industrial robots. On top of this core platform we provide industry-specific toolsets such as IRIS to support in the creative process, from prototype to production. To date, our tools have been used in feature films, national television ads, Las Vegas shows, and large-scale art installations. We dream about where they’ll be used next.
