title = "Spatial Glass Bonds Computation and fabrication system of complex glass structure",
abstract = "This paper introduces an adaptive robotic spatial aggregation system for the development of an intricate self-supporting glass structure. Rather than using discrete and standardized building elements in the design and fabrication process, this research focuses on utilizing a non-arbitrary shape as an aggregated material for autonomous robotic assembly. More specifically, this paper presents an adaptive robotic fabrication pipeline that measures the size of hollow glass balls (inaccurate materials) as fabrication units to aggregate the entire glass structure. Ultraviolet (UV) curing adhesive is used as the bond between each glass element. Thus, through the live robotic programming as well as various combinations of spherical glass objects and UV curing adhesives/devices, the entire glass structure is self-supported. The project is aimed not only at the development of algorithms and a robotic fabrication system, but also the exploration of the aesthetics of glass materials. In other words, this project investigates a flexible and adaptable framework in response to live sensor data for the design and fabrication of nonstandard spatial structures aggregated out of discrete spherical glass elements, and it further explores glass material aesthetic and perception of architecture.",
