• Introduction by Mahesh Daas and Andrew John Wit; Section 01: Framing Architectural Robotics; Section 02: Robotectonics; Section 03: Robotic Architecture; Section 04: Robofutures.

"Sure, there have already been 3-D printed houses. And you can pick up a Nest Thermostat with artificial intelligence at your local hardware store. But a new book co-written and co-edited by Mahesh Daas, dean of the University of Kansas School of Architecture & Design, argues that robotics can and soon will be even further integrated into the design processes at the heart of architecture. Daas and his collaborator on "Towards a Robotic Architecture" (2018, Applied Research & Design Publishing), Temple University Assistant Professor of Architecture Andrew John Wit, brought together a variety of notable authors to survey the latest developments in the field." --Robotics & Automation News "Observing that robotics will influence every sphere of life from agriculture, medicine, architecture and climate change to a Mars mission, he [Daas] explains that robotic construction methods, which are already in use, will become more widespread with robots making everything from small items all the way to skyscrapers." --Architecture & Design As Le Corbusier's Towards a New Architecture advocated for an architectural movement unburdened by the weight of historical convention, Towards a Robotic Architecture implores readers to consider what the field will become once automation and robotics fully come of age. Through a series of case studies, Daas and Wit examine cutting-edge fabrication techniques, buildings that interact with their occupants, additive manufacturing, drone-based construction, and the realization of previously impossible forms.--Architect's Newspaper "AN rounds up our favorite tech books of 2018 "
