Detail of Module

Detail of Module

The construction module consists of a uniform prefabricated panel, a central connector for robotic link, and an edge connector for joining the modules.

Module Assembly

Module Assembly

The project employs three module geometries, enabling diverse assembly methods. A small-scale wave function collapse algorithm was used for automatic assembly and module number count.

Co-Operative Mode of Robots

Co-Operative Mode of Robots

The robots are connected to each other by grippers. Three types of robots have different gripper setups and thus a variety of different combinations are possible. These further influence the way robots co-operate during construction activities.

Simulation of Construction

Simulation of Construction

Three types of robots work together in the construction process. Robots work with robots and with modules to perform free movement on horizontal floors and vertical walls, as well as translation and handling of modules.

Physical Test of Construction

Physical Test of Construction

After determining their form, the team experimented with the physical robots for activities such as module transport, robot lifting, and obstacle avoidance during collaboration.

Space Generation

Space Generation Overview

Space Generation Overview

Generation of Space Regions

Generation of Space Regions

Setting the user agent colour and placing it into the algorithm enables the automatic generation and negotiation of each spatial region. The algorithm is also capable of allocating space to specific regions during user migration.

Generation of Detailed Space

The project designs unit space tiles, classified according to the privacy, extensibility, and regularity of various space types. A large-scale wave function algorithm computes them and generates the final spatial form.

Combination of Global and Local Algorithms

Combination of Global and Local Algorithms

Using a uniform spatial grid for the spatial planner and wave function collapse algorithms allows simultaneous computation. The spatial planner generates regions fed into the wave function collapse to create specific spaces in corresponding areas.

Economic Model

Economic Model

CO-SPACE offers co-op housing. Rent payments are split between CO-SPACE and the co-op operation. Rent factors in room volume and robotic activity. Shared spaces allocate rent based on members' incomes.

Application of Systems

Application of Systems

The Co-Space platform collects user data to build communities and generates cooperative areas, shared areas, and private areas in suitable locations. Detailed spaces are generated according to the needs of different types of spaces.
