Orientation Day 2016

Each year during orientation week the first year students of architecture get together for a project day. This year the 270 students were given instructions on the construction of elements from the Kinetic Weaving project. Armed with seemingly endless amounts of sticks in various sized and hundreds of meters of tape they set out to build their own folding structures.

During the afterparty the KMR iiwa performed the same assembly task by interacting with the students. Using knowledge from the digital model the robots execution can be guided and improved using haptic programming.

We had a lot of fun that day and would like to thank the student body for organising the day and all the students who took part. We wish you lots of success with your studies at RWTH Aachen University.
