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.
