Automating concrete construction: Sustainable social housing in Colombia (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The construction industry is a major source of carbon, and the main culprit is concrete. In addition, productivity for the construction sector is poor, and concrete construction in particular is labour intensive, slow, and costly. This paper introduc...

Robotic apprentices: Leveraging augmented reality for robot training in manufacturing automation (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In the scope of Industry 4.0, a framework is proposed to leverage the potential of articulating Augmented Reality and Robotic Manufacturing in the construction industry. The objective of such framework is to enable robots to learn how to perform task... Read More about Robotic apprentices: Leveraging augmented reality for robot training in manufacturing automation.

Automated framework for the optimisation of spatial layouts for concrete structures reinforced with robotic filament winding (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Concrete is a major contributor to the environmental impact of the construction industry, due to its cement content but also its reinforcement. Reinforcement has a significant contribution because of construction rationalisation, resorting to regular...

Automating concrete construction: Digital design of non-prismatic reinforced concrete beams (2020)
Book Chapter

The construction industry is responsible for nearly half of the UK’s carbon emissions, mainly due to the large amount of concrete used. Traditional formwork methods for concrete result in prismatic building elements with a constant cross-section, but...

Enabling parametric design space exploration by non-designers (2020)
Journal Article

In mass customization, software configurators enable novice end-users to design customized products and services according to their needs and preferences. However, traditional configurators hardly provide an engaging experience while avoiding the bur... Read More about Enabling parametric design space exploration by non-designers.
