About
This workshop will focus on the state-of-the-art applications of industrial robotics in various settings. It will provide an overview of the fundamental principles of industrial robotic arms, robot anatomy, robotic movement, safety, basics of end-of-arm tooling, and robotic programming. It will also introduce key concepts of the workflow involved with the integration of automation and robotics within a creative environment for rapid prototyping and new fabrication methods. Participants will walk away with an understanding of fundamental concepts and gain advanced knowledge of KUKA|prc and KUKA Robot workflows. Participants are expected to conceptualize, program and run complete robotic programs through the software and ideas raised over the intensive five day workshop. This includes the creation, exportation and running of KUKA Robot Language (KRL) via parametric modeling tools.
Tutor
Karl Singline is a graduate architect and roboticist from Australia. After graduating from the University of Tasmania with a Master of Architecture, where he played a key role in integrating a KUKA robotic arm into the curriculum for both the school of architecture as well as other faculties and community groups, he launched his popular YouTube channel with over 630,000 views, specializing in tutorials on visual programming and robotics.
He has traveled the world delivering cutting-edge workshops specializing in introducing the core concepts of thinking robotically, visual programming and developing processes to physicalize the digital through the real-world application of robotics. As lead researcher within Creative Robotics, Karl works on personal research as well as partnering with external industry partners to further explore new ways of adapting robotic technologies to architecture and other creative industries.
