Join us in hosting the next ROB|ARCH conference on robotic fabrication in architecture, art, and design! We've published an open Call for Conference Hosts at https://2023.robarch.org/
The previous editions in Vienna (2012) University of Michigan (2014), University of Sydney (2016) and ETH Zürich (2018) were great successes, with 2020 having been cancelled due to the pandemic - but now it's time to bring ROB|ARCH back! Get in touch if you have got any questions!

Our friends at UIBK shared an open robotics-related position in Innsbruck, Austria: https://lfuonline.uibk.ac.at/public/karriereportal.details?asg_id_in=11869
The German version provides more details than the English version, consider auto-translating it!

We're about to update the free community version of KUKA|prc and would invite anyone interested to take a quick look if you encounter problems, crashes, incompatibilities etc.
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtgYyPhhrKrMrf1Jd7XjgTlutRInEg?e=Umc47W (valid until January 26th). Many more robots (Agilus-2, Quantec-2, Iontec, etc.) and improvements under the hood. Also big improvements on the mxAutomation side, but that is unfortunately not included in the community version. Built for Rhino 6 and up. Please let us know if anything breaks!
To our members: You are up to date, if you want to update, please get your downloads from the member-section!

Autodesk University 2020 has kicked off online, it was a privilege for us to record a Theater Talk about recent research and developments within the Association for Robots in Architecture and our partners!
Of course online is not the same as on-site in Las Vegas but the production quality (and of course content!) of the talks is very high!

We just got the most recent stats of the initial 2012 Rob|Arch book by Springer (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-7091-1465-0):
"Since its online publication on Dec 15, 2012, there have been a total of 93442 chapter downloads for your eBook on SpringerLink"
"We are also delighted to tell you that your book was among the top 25% most downloaded eBooks in its respective eBook Collection in 2019. "
The downloads per year have been steadily climbing, so that is hopefully a very positive indicator for the entire community!

Architects, artists, and designers have been fascinated by robots for many decades, from Villemard’s utopian vision of an architect building a house with robotic labor in 1910, to the design of buildi
