Understand how you can use AWS Services and Autodesk products together to accelerate innovation, time to market, and develop new business models.
An open discussion focusing how the onset and advances in Generative Design can be brought from other industries into the Water and Wastewater Treament Design Build and Operation industry.
Robotic Fabrication is beginning to be leveraged towards customizable production methods in Architecture. However, typical building and construction processes require an incredible amount of process knowledge, dexterity,and craftsmanship, making purely automated workflows unrealistic in the building industry. The introduction of collaborative robotics to construction processes could be more viable for implementation, where intelligent task tradeoffs, background computational processing, and informative user interfaces facilitate collaborative construction between man and robot. This class discusses the possibilities and challenges for Human Robot collaboration in Architecture, as well as a set of tools in generative design, interprocess communication, and user interfaces which enable it. A presented study, “Collaborative Robotic Workbench,” developed for the Kuka Innovation Award, 2018, was a live demonstration where construction tasks were exchanged between a builder and a collaborative robot towards the construction of a generatively designed nonstandard wooden system. In this case, an augmented Reality interface deployed in the Microsoft Hololens gave builders direct access to robotic control and superimposed digital information, enabling them to directly interact with the robot on construction tasks. This workbench consisted of additional components: a background computational engine and server for path planning and managing construction tasks, and an online webplatform developed with Forge which updated the construction process in realtime for remote visualization and diagnostics. This course will explain in detail the computation and communication protocols utilized in the project, with a more in depth focus on how Forge APIs were utilized for a custom webplatform and interface.
In this class you will see a variety of parts for different industries where implementing a hybrid manufacturing process resulted in a stepchange in capability, efficiency, and/or leadtime. We'll be doing a deepdive into a specific 5axis CNC Hybrid metal additivesubtractive machining center and how Autodesk PowerMill additive can be leveraged to create parts never before possible through traditional manufacturing techniques. Topics covered will include Postprocessor development, PowerMill Automation, Hybrid process planning, and the impact subtractive machining processes have on additive support planning.
