Investigating the Role of Interface in Enhancing Human-Robot Collaboration in Digital Fabrication for Architecture

Abstract: The construction industry is rapidly evolving with the integration of robots and advances in digital fabrication for architecture. Incorporating human-robot collaboration (HRC) systems improve workflow efficiency and precision. However, challenges remain in task allocation, worker acceptance, and regulatory frameworks. Through comparative case study, this paper explores the role of interface in shaping workflow and engagement of agents in open-ended design processes. Presented findings contribute to the development of strategies in implementation of advanced construction techniques that follow socially sustainable approaches, ensuring more efficient and inclusive HRC in construction.
