Robotics Lab
The DMaF Lab supports student work and research in robotics to explore novel design and fabrication techniques in the architecture and construction industries.
This space provides staff, students and collaborators with access to robotic arms along with the expertise of our technical staff.
The Robotics Lab has Kuka and UR robotic arms available for use:
KR6 R900, KR10 R1100, KR60, KR120, LBR iiwa
UR10e, UR5e
The Robotics Lab supports robotic fabrication electives and run various fabrication sessions throughout the semester to provide an opportunity for students to design and make with the robots.
Robotics Lab Tour
on DMaF Hub in Canvas
Sign up for our Robotics Lab Tour to find out more about the Robotics Lab and how to book the robots for fabrication and consultations. Complete the DMaF Online Site Induction to access the bookings for the tour.
Open to all students at the Sydney School of Architecture Design and Planning.
No prior knowledge of robots or coding is required.
Tour the Robot Lab.
Join our Robotics Lab Tour.
The Tour introduces students to various robotic applications in architecture, construction and interaction design fields. We will also showcase student works from thesis, master studios and electives. Come and see the physical prototypes and projects fabricated with the robots in the lab.

Programming.
Developing skills sets that adopt traditional craftsmanship for current state-of-the-art technologies such as robotic fabrication, plays an important role for researchers, practice and industry.
Research.
Robotics research-led design electives that are part of architectural studies at the University introduces undergraduate and postgraduate students to robotic 2D and 3D processes.
Robotics Lab Gallery
The use of robotic fabrication in architecture and construction has grown rapidly over the last 15 years, and continues to accelerate as the potential for innovation using robots is harnessed by the creative industries.
Giving students access to these processes allows us to shape future generations of architects and increase Australia’s competitiveness in architecture & creative robotics.
