This paper presents an interactive design system that allows the user to create and fabricate stylized sculptures in water-based clay, using a standard 6-axis robot arm.

We present an interactive design system that allows users to create sculpting styles and fabricate clay models using a standard 6-axisrobot arm.

Artist-Directed Robotic Sculpting of Clay

This paper present a computational technique that aids with the design of structurally‐sound metal frames, tailored for robotic fabrication using an existing process that integrate automated bar bending, welding, and cutting.
