ABSTRACT
In the creative industry, architects and designers have to realize complex, prototypical projects without the profit margins or the economy of scale of other industries. One of the core enablers of such processes are fluid and efficient workflows that allow a maximum of flexibility throughout the design process. However, rather than fully automating the design process, approaches are required that allow quick and intuitive changes of key parameters. Using visual programming tools, architects and designers are now able to create their own virtual simulation environments, where they can change key parameters with the push of a slider, and observe the results on their designs in real time. This research shows approaches how parametric environments can be extended beyond simple design iterations to directly link the design with robotic fabrication. Due to their inherent multifunctionality, robotic arms are of special interest to the creative industry and can profit from the similar versatility of visual programming environments.
