MESH

Building A Robot’s Dream at @labiennale earlier this year was an uncharted journey! This video captures not just the outcome, but the process behind a team vision that has evolved through collaborations across #material, #motion and #code. Thank you to everyone involved, especially to curator Carlo Ratti @crassociati and Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia for having us! 📹 Watch the full video by @stefano_santamato Project credits: Gramazio Kohler Research, Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich, MESH AG Prof. Fabio Gramazio, Prof. Matthias Kohler, Inés Ariza (project lead), Petrus Aejmelaeus-Lindström, Alessandra Gabaglio, Ilaria Giacomini (MESH), Yijiang Huang (CRL), Martin Inauen (MESH), Mattis Koh (MESH), Chenhao Li (RSL), Michael Lyrenmann, Ammar Mirjan (MESH), Panayiotis Papacharalambous, Sarah schneider, Benjamin Kaiwen Sun (MESH), Ezra Truncellito (MESH), Achilleas Xydis.

A Robot’s Dream - La Biennale Architettura 2025. The installation explores the evolving relationship between humans and #machines in #architecture, offering a space for reflection on the rise of #robotics in construction. It invites visitors to engage with the presence of a humanoid robot, and questions the intersections of automation, craftsmanship, and materiality.

Scenes from the production: @meshroboticconstruction software bridges the gap between digital planning and the physical realization of rebar structures through robotic automation. While robots excel at repetitive tasks, #MESH enhances their capabilities by linking them to computational design workflows. This connection empowers #robots to also fabricate intricate forms with exceptional efficiency. Our installation “A Robot’s Dream” at @labiennale demonstrates this transformative potential of automated reinforcement production. More details will be unveiled very soon!

MESH is proud to support the construction of the White Tower («Tor Alva»), the tallest 3D-printed structure in the world. For the first time, 3D-printed concrete is being used in a fully structural manner, enabled by a digital fabrication process. The necessary steel reinforcement is inserted as part of a robotic production process using MESH Technology – marking a significant milestone in the development of 3D concrete printing. The integration of rebar within a digital design and production workflow takes 3D concrete printing to the next level and what an amazing architectural project to showcase this innovation! Our contribution: -Production of bespoke rebar stirrups using Top12 reinforcing steel with increased corrosion resistance from Debrunner Acifer Bewehrungen AG using our MEP Format stirrup bending machine (@mepgroup_official ) -Creation of a flexible rebar handling gripper for 3D printing of concrete -Development of robotic process to pick and place rebar stirrups with high geometric variability using our proprietary software, MESH Actuate -Integration of the robotic rebar insertion process within the design-to-print process including robotic motion planning and collision avoidance ⸻ ETH Zurich partners: @digitalbuildingtechnologies , @ethzurich , kfmResearch – Chair of Structural Engineering – Concrete Structures and Bridge Design, ETH Zurich, Institut für Baustoffe (PCBM), Geosensors and Engineering Geodesy (GSEG), Robotic Fabrication Laboratory (RFL) Architecture: Benjamin Dillenburger, Michael Hansmeyer Team: @ana_anton , Dr Sc (Research lead Concrete 3DP), @elenived , @t1g3r_l1n , @steph300105 , @lena_kit , @u09950048 , @konradgraser (Project coordination) Institute of Technology in Architecture, ETH Zurich Department of Architecture (D-ARCH) ETH Zurich Development: Nova Fundaziun Origen @origenfestivalcultural Construction management: Invias AG Structural Engineer: Conzett Bronzini Partner AG Industry partners: @sika_schweiz_ag (industry partner of MESH), Knauf, @saekirobotics , Bieri Tenta AG, AALBORG WHITE®️, Almatis, @creabeton.ch , BASF Schweiz AG, Full team credits: https://lnkd.in/dpQ4MjdH
