Creative Robotics in Spatial Design

This course explores robotics technologies within the creative industries, particularly those closely relevant to spatial design. It is a research and design project taught through collaboration between the Architecture and Built Environment, Mechanical Engineering, and Industrial Design Engineering faculties and involves RoboHouse and TU Delft Science Centre. It aims to enhance students’ understanding of robotics through applied, critical, and speculative approaches focusing on the relationships between robots, humans, and environments. In this course, the students will work in interdisciplinary teams to develop innovative concepts and applied solutions by using robotics. They will develop skills and knowledge in human-robot interaction, computer vision, machine learning, coding, and digital crafting. They will integrate them to create tangible projects addressing the design, production, or use of built environments.
