Ambient Innovation Robotics
Short description

In “Ambient Innovation Robotics” (AIR) problems are systematically solved
by analysis methodology. It is a simulation project in which the
participants learn to develop solutions so as to apply basic knowledge
for further expansion and specialization. The participants learn to
blend knowledge from various disciplines by organizing its synthesis.
General knowledge acquisition strategies as well as individual methods
may be applied in order to uncover and experience one’s personal weak
and strong points. It is the aim to empower the participants for
lifelong learning and designing one’s own and proper comprehension.
Content
The project deals with programming, development and design of innovative
processes, production and products to ameliorate built environment. New
life style, demographic and sustainable trends ask for unconventional
delivery of building systems and subsystems and their optimization
during product life transformation. We consider not just the hardware
but also the software of built environments and its subsystems such as
structure (primary system), interior walls (secondary systems), HVAC
and building control systems (tertiary system). The varying life cycles
of building sub systems are decided by its economical life cycle and by
choice of materiality, system geometry, system functionality and
physiology. The performance specifications of such components follow
strategies of non construction industries such as space craft, air
craft, shipbuilding, car and computer industry or any industry that
uses advanced strategies of industrialization. We analyze best practice
case studies from any nonmanufacturing or manufacturing industry in
order to solve future problems related to technology, environment,
entrepreneurship, usability, serviceability and demographic change.
