Cyber-Physical Fabrication Platform: Harnessing Wood’s Variability

Research Project 4-3 (RP 4-3)

CYBER-PHYSICAL FABRICATION PLATFORM FOR TIMBER: INLINE ASSESSMENT, TESTING AND FEATURE-RESPONSIVE FABRICATION FOR HARNESSING WOOD’S BIOLOGICAL VARIABILITY AND PRE-USE FEATURES OF RECLAIMED TIMBER BASED ON MATERIAL-MACHINE CO-AGENCY

RP 4-3 develops a cyber-physical timber fabrication platform for adaptive prefabrication with Building on the robotic prefabrication system and multi-actor fabrication methods established in during the first funding phase, the project extends the platform from project-specific flexibility toward adaptability led by material-availability. Rather than treating biological variability, irregular geometry, defects, or uncertain mechanical properties as obstacles, RP 4-3 investigates how these material features can become drivers of design, planning, and fabrication.

The project integrates inline material assessment through machine-learning methods, non-destructive testing, 3D geometry acquisition, feature extraction, adaptive fabrication planning, and feature-responsive robotic processing and joining. In close collaboration with RP 3-3, the assessed material properties and fabrication constraints will inform the design process from early planning stages onward. This enables timber elements to be assigned to suitable structural roles, joining strategies, and assembly configurations according to their estimated characteristics.

By linking material characterization, design, planning, and execution through material–machine co-agency, RP 4-3 aims to support circular, resource-efficient timber construction and increase the use of low-grade and reclaimed wood. The project will validate its methods through a demonstrator workflow and transferable data models, fabrication methods, and implementation guidelines for variability-aware timber prefabrication.

  @article{bechert2025livmats, abstract = {Segmented timber shells (STS) represent an emerging modular system for lightweight, free-form architecture. While prior applications have largely been limited to temporary demonstrators, this paper presents the livMatS Biomimetic Shell—the first permanent, fully functioning building realised using a segmented timber shell system —marking a major step toward scalable and long-term architectural integration. The project demonstrates a holistic, digitally driven approach that integrates co-design across architecture, engineering, and robotic fabrication, in close collaboration with industry partners. The research applies an integrative structural design methodology, combining parametric shape analysis and advanced finite element methods to optimise the shell’s form, segmentation, and structural performance. A central innovation is the refined hollow timber cassette system, which reduces material volume and structural weight while enabling insulation integration and structural adaptability. Additional contributions include a bifurcated shell geometry that incorporates a skylight and an innovative weather-responsive shading system. As a full-scale scientific demonstrator, the livMatS Biomimetic Shell positions STS as a viable, sustainable, and structurally robust solution for contemporary long-span timber architecture.}, author = {Bechert, Simon and Schlopschnat, Christoph and Göbel, Monika and Aicher, Simon and Menges, Achim and Knippers, Jan}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.istruc.2025.109524}, institution = {University of Stuttgart, ICD}, journal = {Structures}, language = {eng}, month = {09}, pages = 109524, publisher = {Elsevier}, title = {livMatS biomimetic shell: Structural advancements of segmented timber shells towards permanent building constructions}, volume = 79, year = 2025 }

This requires HRC setups to scale up from light-payload collaborative robots to conform with the scale of building construction while considering the safety and teamwork culture for workers. This research proposes a system for large-scale multi-user HRC using head-mounted augmented reality (AR) devices. To achieve this, we contribute three methods that work in conjunction: (1) an AR system that enables multiple users to share tasks and work together with robots; (2) a dynamic human task allocation engine that reacts to the changing production teams and task types; and (3) a safety zone generation and allocation method to configure human collaboration in shared space with large-scale robots.

  @article{pathmanathan2023been, abstract = {Abstract The distribution of visual attention can be evaluated using eye tracking, providing valuable insights into usability issues and interaction patterns. However, when used in real, augmented, and collaborative environments, new challenges arise that go beyond desktop scenarios and purely virtual environments. Toward addressing these challenges, we present a visualization technique that provides complementary views on the movement and eye tracking data recorded from multiple people in real-world environments. Our method is based on a space-time cube visualization and a linked 3D replay of recorded data. We showcase our approach with an experiment that examines how people investigate an artwork collection. The visualization provides insights into how people moved and inspected individual pictures in their spatial context over time. In contrast to existing methods, this analysis is possible for multiple participants without extensive annotation of areas of interest. Our technique was evaluated with a think-aloud experiment to investigate analysis strategies and an interview with domain experts to examine the applicability in other research fields.}, author = {Pathmanathan, N. and Öney, S. and Becher, M. and Sedlmair, M. and Weiskopf, D. and Kurzhals, K.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1111/cgf.14838}, eprint = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/cgf.14838}, journal = {Computer Graphics Forum}, language = {eng}, number = 3, pages = {385-396}, title = {Been There, Seen That: Visualization of Movement and 3D Eye Tracking Data from Real-World Environments}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/cgf.14838}, volume = 42, year = 2023 }

In this paper, we introduce a human-robot collaborative system based on Augmented Reality (AR). To assess our approach, we conducted an exploratory user study on a head-mounted display (HMD) interface for task sharing between humans and an industrial robotic platform (N=16). Instead of screen-based interfaces, HMDs allowed users to receive information in-situ, regardless of their location in the workspace and the need to use their hands to handle tools or carry out tasks. We analyzed the resulting open-ended, qualitative user feedback as well as the quantitative user experience data. From the results, we derived challenges to tackle in future implementations and questions that need to be investigated to improve AR-based HRI in fabrication scenarios. The results also suggest that some aspects of human-robot interaction, like communication and trust, are more prominent when implementing a non-dyadic scenario and dealing with larger robots.

Current evaluation procedures for AR applications rely primarily on questionnaires and interviews, providing qualitative means to assess usability and task solution strategies. Eye tracking extends these existing evaluation methodologies by providing indicators for visual attention to virtual and real elements in the environment. However, the analysis of viewing behavior, especially the comparison of multiple participants, is difficult to achieve in AR. Specifically, the definition of areas of interest (AOIs), which is often a prerequisite for such analysis, is cumbersome and tedious with existing approaches. To address this issue, we present a new visualization approach to define AOIs, label fixations, and investigate the resulting annotated scanpaths. Our approach utilizes automatic annotation of gaze on virtual objects and an image-based approach that also considers spatial context for the manual annotation of objects in the real world.

The design freedom of timber structures is incomparable to that of reinforced concrete structures, which mostly gains from the in-situ fabrication process. An in-situ robotic timber fabrication platform allows the on-site construction of glulam structures with highly differentiated networks of beams composed of robotically assembled discrete linear elements. Based on the possibilities of such mobile robotic fabrication process, this paper explores novel architectural typologies of spatial glulam structures. The research is conducted from several aspects including joint tectonics, design method, and robotic fabrication process.

  @article{Ellwein_2021, abstract = {The term co-design describes a collaborative design process, usually across the boundaries of individual areas. A major aspect, and often an obstacle in the implementation of the co-design approach, is the establishment of a centralized data management system. In the past, the data management concept has been approached from different perspectives. Current approaches usually are oriented along the process chain and thus reflect a unidirectional flow of information. Neither the information feedback nor the reaction to adjustments in upstream model steps is supported, which makes continuous collaboration more difficult and at best reduces the co-design approach for continuous data usage. This paper addresses these weaknesses while outlining an integrative data processing concept enabling co-design between the domains of construction and industrial prefabrication. Geometrical information generated during architectural design and construction planning is reused for the production of components, manufacturing-related design adjustments are transferred back into the domain of construction. Changes throughout the entire process are centrally recorded. To ensure independence from the software tools used and to consider their great diversity, data exchange is largely based on standards, namely industry foundation classes and the standard for the exchange of product model data. In order to counteract the sequential processing according to a waterfall model and to support the co-design approach, the industrial prefabrication toolchain, consisting of computer-aided manufacturing software and downstream postprocessors, is largely automated, so that reprocessing of a workpiece for minor geometric adjustments no longer requires any interaction of the production planner.}, author = {Ellwein, Carsten and Reichle, Alexander and Herschel, Melanie and Verl, Alexander}, doi = {10.1016/j.procir.2021.05.103}, journal = {Procedia CIRP}, note = {31st CIRP Design Conference 2021 (CIRP Design 2021)}, pages = {451-456}, publisher = {Elsevier {BV}}, title = {Integrative data processing for cyber-physical off-site and on-site construction promoting co-design}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212827121005746}, volume = 100, year = 2021 }

  @inproceedings{Qi2021, abstract = {Despite being sustainable, strong and lightweight, naturally grown bamboo poles are currently used in restricted building typologies. This is due to the large tolerances in the built structures, which is caused by the variations in the dimensions and geometry ofnatural material as well as the manual, uninformed and imprecise assembly methods. In previous work, we introduced an adaptive fabrication method for bamboo structures that can monitor the fabrication process and compensate for deviations between built and designed form. As a proofofconcept, the method is suitable for small scale bamboo structures in 2D- or simple 3D configuration. This paper extends the previous method by integrating the adaptation strategies into a cohesive fabrication and assembly workflow for large scale complex bamboo structures. To enable that, a more effective sensor localization method, adaptation algorithm, connection and assembly system, as well as web-based user interface are developed. The effectiveness ofthe proposed methods is demonstrated through the fabrication of a pavilion scale branching bamboo structure that complies with intended geometric boundary conditions. Even though the material has substantial geometrical variations, the final structure shows small geometric deviations and a successful interface with the prefabricated roofelements. Our work shows how vernacular materials and processes can be digitally augmented in order to reliably produce building structures, hence enabling their usage in modern applications to a larger extent.}, address = {Novi Sad}, author = {Qi, Yue and Zhong, Ruqing and Kaiser, Benjamin and Tahouni, Yasaman and Wagner, Hans Jakob and Verl, Alexander and Menges, Achim}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 39th eCAADe Conference}, editor = {Stojakovic, V and Tepavcevic, B}, file = {:C\:/Users/ac128044/Google Drive/ICD_Wagner/01_Publikationen/PUBLICATION_COLLECTION/2021_ECAADE_AUGMENTED_ACCURACY.pdf:pdf}, pages = {345--354}, publisher = {Cumincad}, title = {Augmented Accuracy: A Human-Machine Integrated Adaptive Fabrication Workflow for Bamboo}, url = {http://papers.cumincad.org/cgi-bin/works/paper/ecaade2021_169}, volume = 1, year = 2021 }

  @inproceedings{Qi, abstract = {This paper presents and investigates a cyber-physical fabrication workflow, which can respond to the deviations between built- and designed form in real-time with vision augmentation. We apply this method for large scale structures built from natural bamboo poles. Raw bamboo poles obtain evolutionarily optimized fibrous layouts ideally suitable for lightweight and sustainable building construction. Nevertheless, their intrinsically imprecise geometries pose a challenge for reliable, automated construction processes. Despite recent digital advancements, building with bamboo poles is still a labor-intensive task and restricted to building typologies where accuracy is of minor importance. The integration of structural bamboo poles with other building layers is often limited by tolerance issues at the interfaces, especially for large scale structures where deviations accumulate incrementally. To address these challenges, an adaptive fabrication process is developed, in which existing deviations can be compensated by changing the geometry of subsequent joints to iteratively correct the pose of further elements. A vision-based sensing system is employed to three-dimensionally scan the bamboo elements before and during construction. Computer vision algorithms are used to process and interpret the sensory data. The updated conditions are streamed to the computational model which computes tailor-made bending stiff joint geometries that can then be directly fabricated on-the-fly. In this paper, we contextualize our research and investigate the performance domains of the proposed workflow.}, author = {Qi, Yue and Zhong, Ruqing and Kaiser, Benjamin and Nguyen, Long and Wagner, Hans Jakob and Verl, Alexander and Menges, Achim}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2020 DigitalFUTURES}, editor = {Yuan, P.

Few researchers discuss how a multitude of different robotic processes can come together into seamless, collaborative robotic fabrication workflows and how a high level of interaction within larger teams of computational design and robotic fabrication experts can be achieved. It will be increasingly important to discuss suitable methods for the management of robotics and computational de- sign in construction for the successful implementation of robotic fabrication sys- tems in the context of the industry.

Timber Construction is seen as the most promising technology for the sustainable development of continuously growing urban areas around the world, resulting in increasing legislative support. Although employing high levels of automation in prefabrication, wood building systems and construction techniques are currently hardly competitive outside of modular construction paradigms – restricting the material's use in the majority of building typologies. In many projects, the use of concrete is still preferred, as slabs can be poured into monolithic slabs of various geometries and steel reinforcement can be freely arranged according to structural requirements. In order to allow engineered wood structures to be used across all building types, we propose a co-designed wood construction system. A respective robotic fabrication platform can be employed in two on-site fabrication scenarios. In both cases the mobile robot moves relative to a preinstalled wood-panel surface that serves as semi-controlled environment and is incrementally reinforced through iterative placement of wood laths using nail-press gluing.
