Forschungspavillon ICD/ITKE - 2012

 

Im Sommersemester 2012 realisierten das Institut für Computerbasiertes Entwerfen (ICD) und das Institut für Tragkonstruktionen und Konstruktives Entwerfen (ITKE) der Universität Stuttgart einen temporären bionischen Versuchsbau aus faserbasiertem Verbundmaterial, der an der Schnittstelle von Lehre und Forschung zusammen mit Studierenden entworfen, geplant und ausgeführt wurde. Das Projekt erforscht die Übertragung biologischer Form- und Materialbildungsprinzipien der Arthropoden in Architektur und Bauwesen. Neben den klassischen Entwurfsmethoden wurden neuartige computerbasierte Entwurfs- und Simulationsverfahren entwickelt, sowie computergesteuerter Fertigungsmethoden eingesetzt. Eine besondere Innovation beim Einsatz des faserbasierten Werkstoffes in diesem Projekt bestand darin, die Materialität bei Formfindung, computerbasierter Simulation und robotischer Fertigung von Beginn an im Entwurfsprozess zu integrieren und zu berücksichtigen. Durch das optimale Materialdesign wurde es möglich bei einer Spannweite des Pavillons von 8m, eine Schalendicke von nur 4mm Laminatstärke zu realisieren. Die Herstellung des Pavillons konnte dabei direkt auf der Baustelle durch einen Roboter erfolgen.

Hoberman Sphere

One of Chuck Hoberman's best-known museum pieces, the original Hoberman Sphere was installed in 1992 as the central exhibit in the Liberty Science Center's atrium. The sphere was re-installed in 2007 in the newly renovated museum's entry hall. Suspended by cables, the 700-pound aluminum sphere expands and contracts smoothly and continuously. Throughout its long history, the sphere has become the icon for Liberty Science Center, logging millions of cycles.

Peristaltic Locomotion

This robotic concept uses a braided mesh that can be continuously deformed to create smooth waves of motion. The improvements in kinematics result in a much faster and effective motion. You can learn more at http://www.peristalticmayhem.com

Theo Jansen, a new form of life

Artist Theo Jansen demonstrates the amazingly lifelike kinetic sculptures he builds from plastic tubes and lemonade bottles. His creatures are designed to move -- and even survive -- on their own.

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.
