WORKSHOPS

ROB|ARCH 2024 will kick off with three-day intensive workshops led by eleven teams from a wide range of institutions. Workshops are available for all skill levels/previous experiences, and will engage various robotic tools. Full details of each workshop are available here.

CONFERENCE THEME

The growing presence of robotics in art, research, design, and construction has changed the way we practice and think through our tools. Since 2012, when the first ROB|ARCH conference was held, the role of robotics in creative practices and manufacturing industries has grown, shifted, and evolved. Robots are no longer a shiny novelty restricted to niche research proposals but are now a fundamental technical tool for interfacing between digital and physical worlds.

The two-day conference will include presentations from our paper authors, keynotes from internationally recognized figures, good food and networking opportunities.
