From June 21 to 23, the symposiums "The Future of Construction" will take place at ETH Zurich. International speakers will give lectures on digital technology in the construction process. The focus will be on Construction Robotics and Computational Design for Sustainable…

It is our pleasure to announce a performance by Dr. Madeline Gannon, to be held at Robotic Fabrication Laboratory (RFL) on May 9th. Madeline is a multidisciplinary designer forging new futures for human-robot relations and has been previously described by Wired magazine as a «Robot Whisperer». Her mission is to make robotics and other advanced technologies…

This is session 4 in a 4-part-webinar - and takes place from 9.30am to 11am on ZOOM. This final session will continue introductions from researchers and participants in diverse STEM disciplines, and will wrap up the session with a recap of the entire series. This webinar…

Tuesday, October 5th the NCCR Digital Fabrication will jointly host the next installment in our Seminar Series on “Innovation and Risk” with Swiss Re. This seminar series is targeted at the wider construction and manufacturing sector, pairing presentations from researchers and innovative practitioners, with experts from industry. The goal of…

Recent advances in robotic technologies in architecture and civil engineering are pushing the development and integration of sensing solutions, allowing the quasi-real-time adaptation of building processes. Sensing is gradually enabling the handling of unknown or imprecise geometries and unforeseen construction errors and allow for quality inspection during and after the fabrication processes.…
