Development of an experimental platform for architectural-scale robotics : the Digital Construction Platform
… and refinement of the second prototype of the Digital Construction Platform, or DCP. The DCP is a serial-link micro-macro manipulator robot intended for architectural-scale fabrication tasks, originally conceived of and presented by Keating in [1]. It is envisioned primarily as a platform for …

Tinkering with ScratchBit : explorations in blended making
… these movements, various forms of physical and digital construction kits have begun to emerge. Often times these construction kits facilitate creation in only one domain, either in the physical or virtual world, but not both. For my Master's thesis, I propose a new system, called the ScratchBit, …

Lens x block : World as construction kit
… and actionable behavior that: The World is a Construction Kit? We can, and in fact people have already done so with some existing tools which I will present. Then, I will present several new digital construction kits with a focus on two, Drawdio and Makey Makey, that are designed to focus …
