Responsive Robotic Architecture
Engy Saad Hassouna;
Abstract
The architectural profession is adopting new digital and physical framework,
these frameworks are defined by design methods, instruments and operation.
The unconventional frameworks are challenging the traditional ones and
technical purists of the architectural discipline.
Responsive structures are those having the ability to change their shape, alter
their form and configuration in response to fluctuating patterns in real time with
high intelligence to internal and external environmental changes. A responsive
robot on the other hand is considered a learning one possessing a high level
of intelligence, it acquires novel skills or adapt to its environment through
learning algorithms either through autonomous self-exploration or through
guidance from a human teacher, the aim of this thesis is to define architecture
as a machine to live in; although it is a classic dream, up to current date it is
still considered a fresh promising field to investigate in.
The aim of this research is to mimic a learning robot framework and reflect it
on architectural applications to produce a responsive transduced automated
environment. In order to reach such theoretical framework and determine its
basic required components the thesis was built upon three parts defining the
method of thinking, software and hardware parts in general notions.
The first part of the thesis gives a brief note of the method of thinking, of
acquiring such type of intelligence by introducing cybernetics methodology,
soft techniques as artificial intelligence, swarming, algorithms, game theory
and agent design. While the second part of the thesis defines the system of
such learning transduced machine; how it will interact and respond in real time
in the physical world by introducing human computer interaction and different
types of frameworks adopted either implicit, explicit or other types. Finally the
third part investigates in two methods proposed by the research to build such
a structure of a responsive building, first introducing the Tensegrity structures
and the second introducing the kinetic structures in between these two
systems more practical considerations were tackled as transduction notion
and its architectural application as well as a smart novel material introduction,
and finally closing down the search with deducted framework.
The main emphasis of this thesis is to introduce novel techniques that enable
the formulation of such responsive robotic systems, in a way that is suitable for
the purpose of interaction and control, while dealing with uncertainty issues
and guaranteeing intelligent robustness. Solution
