RMIT ARCHITECTURAL ROBOTICS LAB

The RMIT Architectural Robotics Lab is an applied research group that explores the application and implications of robotics to architectural design, building fabrication, assembly and construction. The lab operates to develop both speculative research and the application of that research to industry projects. The lab is situated within RMIT University's d___Lab and operates from the Design Hub.
