Abstract
industrial robots and artificial intelligence in design and
construction have rapidly transformed the architecture industry in recent years, offering revolutionary opportunities which intern change the execution methods of buildings. This paper explores how implementing robotics methodology and AI in the design process can improve efficiency and accuracy, especially to generate scripts and data, highlighting their benefits and exploring the challenges that must be addressed to optimize their use. It also automates certain tasks in the design process, such as model production and streamlining workflow; it is being used to produce intricate prototypes that manipulate materials and shapes that were previously difficult to create (Mahesh, Andrew John Wit, 2018). It can produce more complex designs and achieve higher precision and accuracy in their work (Philip F. Yuan, Hua Chai, Chao Yan, Neil Leach, 2021).
Additionally, robotic arms can be programmed to perform repetitive tasks, freeing designers' time for more creative work (Mahesh, Andrew John Wit, 2018).Integrating AI into the design process will bring new possibilities for architects to generate and evaluate a wide range of design options more quickly than before where AI algorithms can analyze data from various sources, including user feedback and environmental data, to create design proposals that meet specific requirements (Philip F. Yuan · Hua Chai · Chao Yan · Keke Li ·Tongyue Sun, 2022). Also, AI can generate design scripts, providing robotics with infinite tasks (Leach, 2021). Hence, this research demonstrates the full computational process starting from the AI design phase and ending with robotic fabricated products. It explains the importance of embedded intelligent input into the algorithmic design process, enhancing these processes with infinite data and exploring the capability of the direct connectivity between the AI and robotic tasks monitoring to achieve the optimum solution for a specific product. As a result, the research will emphasize these processes fully documented phases, demonstrating the importance of integrating AI and robotics arm into computational design and fabrication methodologies to enhance finally the architecture and construction industries for more performative and optimized strategies. Providing new tools and methods to create buildings more efficiently. Furthermore, reducing waste and minimizing errors. Additionally, integrating robotics and AI in fabrication can reduce the 2 overall construction time and costs, making it more feasible for architects to create innovative and sustainable buildings.
