MSc 2 intro just took place with 30 students working in two groups on two projects: Cyber-physical Space 4.0 and Interactive Urban Furniture 2.0

Cyber-physical Space 4.0

The Cyber-physical Space (CpS) will be developed for underground off-Earth habitats on Mars using Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation (D2RP&O) methods. The design takes functional, structural, material, and operational aspects into account. It furthermore, integrates sensor-actuators into the life supporting system of the habitat. The focus will be on two main aspects of the design: 1. Parametric design and robotic production, 2. User-space interaction and sensor-actuator operation. Both aspects will be developed in groups of 4-5 students subdivided in two subgroups addressing each of the two aspects.

Interactive Urban Furniture 2.0

D2RP&O for Interactive Urban Furniture (IUF) will focus on the development of parametric designs for robotically 3D printing urban furniture using wood based biopolymers. The design takes functional, structural, material, and operational aspects into account. It integrates sensor-actuators into the urban furniture enabling direct and indirect communication with users via sounds, lights, etc. and web based apps, respectively. The focus will be on two main aspects of the design: 1. Parametric design and robotic production and 2. User-IUF interaction, sensor-actuator operation, and web-based communication. While BSc students focus on the 1st aspect, the MSc students will address both 1st and 2nd aspects and will develop designs in groups of 4-5 students subdivided in two subgroups addressing each one of the two aspects.
