“…Technologies such as Augmented Reality overlay digital information to a view of the real world, using devices such as smartphones for this purpose. [1,11]. Mixed reality devices such as Microsoft Hololens, project the virtual world to the real world and allow for interactions between them [18].…”

“…Educational proposals are particularly developed in the realm of additive manufacturing and digital fabrication [9][10][11][12]. In the realm of construction robotics, References [13][14][15] have studied student's cognition and motivation when developing experiences in AEC classrooms. The greatest bottleneck to massive implementation of ART technologies in AEC classrooms is massive scalability due to the needs of bespoke facilities.…”

This article describes the outcomes of the development of the project MATES to STEAM. The project is aimed at integrating Construction 4.0 content to a recently started new degree on Technologies on Civil Engineering. This integration is underpinned by the creation of STEAM-rich activities that can complement such degree. The philosophical design of these activities followed three requirements: (i) the activities should infuse Construction 4.0-related technologies, (ii) the activities should foster motivation among students with a STEAM vision by-design and (iii) the activities should be designed with a hardware-software independent perspective (open-source, accessible, affordable). Cornerstone and capstone projects as well as a set of workshops represent the demonstrators of these activities. All these demonstrators are knitted together in a single path in which an educational attempt to fill the identified Construction 4.0 gaps is proposed. The STEAM perspective provides completeness to the whole development. During the last two years, the project was developed and the design, the development and implementation of several demonstrators were completed. In the years to come, a systematic deployment and analysis of such demonstrators is expected when a full implementation of the new degree of Technologies in Civil Engineering will be addressed.

“…Recently, in architecture, multifunctional industrial robots have become popular in automation because they are not designed for a particular objective, like personal computers, but are appropriate for a variety of applications [21]. In particular, the widespread use of industrial robots has enabled the development of specialized manufacturing of architectural objects and mass personalized manufacturing.These advancements led to an increasing interest in reviving traditional techniques, or "digital craftsmanship," which contribute to creative and regionally appropriate architectural design that is formally complicated and complex, and often yield higher outputs [16,32].…”

“…Therefore, robotic manufacturing provides a unique opportunity to reconsider the architectural design process by designing not only the building but also the construction process itself, which manifests in its own aesthetic and intrinsic post-Fordist performance gains [1,7,20]. The rapid convergence of advanced digital and robotic modeling techniques has contributed to reconsideration of an architect as a contemporary master-builder and a digital toolmaker [21,22]. This further illustrates the need for more comprehensive solutions in the AEC industry and the importance of developing new design methodologies that endorse a more holistic approach to robotics adoption [23].…”

“…Despite several advances, there is a lack of intuitive workflows for designers to integrate simulation results as drivers and constraints early in the design process [21]. Furthermore, diverse software is used in various design phases-concept generation, modeling, manufacturing, and construction planning-and consequently, the continuous exchange of knowledge between the AEC disciplines is a challenge [24][25][26].…”

In contemporary design practices, there is a disconnect between the design techniques used for early-stage design experimentation and performance analysis, and those used for the manufacture and construction. This study addresses the problems in developing an integrated digital design workflow and provides a research framework for integrating environmental performance requirements with robotic manufacturing processes on a construction site. The proposed method enables the user to import a design surface, identify design parameters, set several environmental performance goals, and thereafter simulate and select a robotic building strategy. Based on these inputs, design alternatives are developed and evaluated, considering their robotically simulated constructibility, in terms of their performance criteria. To validate the proposed method, the design is evaluated in an experiment wherein a double-skin facade perforation is generated using the proposed methodology. The results suggest a heuristic feature to improve the simulated robotic constructibility. Moreover, the functionality of the prototype is demonstrated.
