Additional Information

This robotics automation project demonstrates the development of automated construction systems using an ABB IRB120 industrial robot arm. The system was programmed to autonomously assemble modular "droxel" components into structural configurations, showcasing applications for automated building and shelter construction. ​ Key Technical Achievements: Developed RAPID code to control robot movements for precise component placement Programmed automated pickup sequences from designated platforms to build structure Achieved minimum 5-unit vertical stacking with controlled overhang capabilities Implemented vacuum cup end-effector control for reliable component handling Created both simulation (RobotStudio) and physical robot demonstrations
