I am excited to open source our latest exciting research in Python — Coupled Rigid-Block Analysis (CRA) for the COMPAS framework. CRA is a new method to measure structural stability statically and can be used to design complex discrete-element assemblies. It can be applied to many research fields like designing architecture, furniture, 3D puzzles, toys, or even robotic assembly planning. You are welcome to use our code, star our repo, cite our work, and contribute! ...

Here is how I set up my PyCharm IDE to program in Rhino Mac, so I can have a nice autocompletion functionality for the RhinoCommon and rhinoscriptsyntax. First, I install the python stubs to my created conda environment. This makes sure that we will have the autocomplete for the RhinoCommon API. $ conda create -n your-env-name $ conda activate your-env-name $ pip install Rhino-stubs To use specific environment in PyCharm, we will have to select the right environment for the project. This can be set in PyCharm -> Preferences -> Project: your-project-name -> Python Interpreter. Normally, our environment python is located at ~/anaconda3/envs/your-env-name/bin/python. ...

I was part of the teaching team at MIT Design-Build Workshop 2019 in Shanghai for a month, a joint workshop from MIT Architecture, ETH Zurich Block Research Group, and Tongji University. The workshop explores robotic additive manufacture and assembly of novel shell structures. More information can be found here on the BRG website. Teaching materials can also be found on our GitHub repo. With students from both Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Tongji University, we built two projects. ...

I was in the computational design team while designing the ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2015-16 and was mainly in charge of developing computational tools. Here is the demonstration video to show the geometrical implementation. One of the input parameters from the plugin is a mesh surface, and the output parameters are all tree data structure thus some double-layer light weight structure as well as some planar plates can be generated (Planar plate wasn’t realized due to the decision making and scheduling during the development). All the geometries are labeled in the right sequence so they can be fabricated directly: ...

Align : Move in the same direction as your neighbours. 2. Cohesion : Remain close to your neighbours. 3. Seperation : Avoid collisions with your neighbours. Attractor methods: (Controlling the shape) From starting points move to target points to create bridge. Using swarm simulation in Grasshopper is in this post: Swarm Python GH Component ...
