How robots shape living materials
The combination of robotics and biomaterials forms a new, promising production method. Such a bio-production supported by computer-controlled 3D printing aligns perfectly with the transition towards a circular, bio-based society. VUB Architectural Engineering invites you to the lecture series "How can robots shape living materials?" to get to know the forerunners in this domain.
Andrea Graziano and Maurizio Montalti will share their vision on the combination of computational design and fabrication with biomaterials based on their collaboration in numerous projects, such as BIO Ex-Machina. The design of ‘customized’, ‘on-demand’ objects is central to their hybrid view.
The evening is introduced by VUB researcher Elise Elsacker. She will explain her vision about the sustainable city of the future, and further discuss the role that bio-manufacturing with robots can play in this urban context.
Date Wednesday, March 27, 2019, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Location Gravensteen, Ghent.
