“University of Stuttgart researchers have created what some say is the first permanent building to be significantly designed and built using robotics. The team employed a robotic arm and custom software to build the 250-square-meter geodesic structure—a curvy shell composed of self-bracing panels—faster and with greater precision than could be accomplished with human hands alone. And they did so while minimizing the project’s environmental impact. The result is a sinuous building called Landesgartenschau Exhibition Hall in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The hall is made out of 243 geometrically unique plates of 50-millimeter-thick beech plywood designed and cut using robotics.”
