This project is from a course at the BAC (in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab and Radlab Inc) called “Robotic Arm Fabrication: Design Machines”. We were challenged to design a custom fixture for a 6-axis KUKA robot that could be used to produce a functioning piece of furniture. The "stab-and-place" method that I developed relied on the robot to press brass dowels into a foam surface around which we would later cast fiber-reinforced concrete. I used the Grasshopper plugin for Rhino to generate a parametric 3-d model from which I was able to quickly modify and extract tool paths for the robotic arm to follow.

As for the final table, it promptly broke due to weakness in the concrete/fiber mixture
