Having traced a comprehensive history of the industrial
robot and its development over the mid to late 20th century, from its fictional
roots to its modern industrial applications, the article goes on to elaborate
on the usage of these machines beyond the factory assembly line. Specifically
in fields like design and construction, the robot has a allowed for a great
degree of flexibility as it has allowed for the designer to realize his vision
with a greater amount of accuracy. By becoming an integral part of the design
process, the robot has allowed for the fabrication of prototypes that bring to
light conceptual flaws and allow for the evolution and development of the
initial idea. at the same time, it has presented the opportunity for designers
to familiarize themselves with the materials they use and their tolerances. The
robot's agency as a tool for design and on site construction has become a wondrous
reality. Units like the R.O.B owing to their transportability and flexibility,
have allowed architects and designers to respond to the challenges of various
projects in extremely specific and unique ways.
