GRAMAZIO & KOHLER: DIGITAL MATERIALITY
Opening reception: Wednesday Sept 30, 7pm
For many years, designers have relied on digital manufacturing processes such as CNC milling or 3D printing as a tool for formal research at model scale. Gramazio & Kohler’s work, developed through their research at ETH Zurich Faculty of Architecture, investigates the potential use on the building site of industrial robots typically employed to assemble automobiles and perform other high-precision tasks. The accuracy, strength and speed of these robots allow them to fabricate architectural forms of unprecedented complexity and intricacy. read more

Honda: U3-X Personal Mobility Device
(574 views)
Several months ago we ran a post on Honda’s walking assist device (second from the left). The new U3-X is yet another evolution in this robotic prosthetic that seems to be aimed at the genetically gifted that have no need for physical activity.
Honda has developed a new personal mobility technology, U3-X. It is a compact experimental device that fits comfortably between the rider’s legs, to provide free movement in all directions just as in human walking – forward, backward, side-to-side, and diagonally. Honda will continue research and development of the device including experiments in a real-world environment to verify the practicality of the device. read more

Cheap, Efficient Solar Cells You Can Print
(3,537 views)
If you haven’t noticed yet, I have been recently researching solar technology for a job we are working on at the office. I came across Nanosolar which has come up with a method of making solar cells cheap and efficient. The video attached is incredible view into the making of this technology. Aside from the very bad sound track and verbal description from random employees, its a very well done video. Via:treehugger
