## About this course

The "Robotic Fabrication Simulation" workshop teaches participants to simulate and visualize robotic movements with Unreal Engine 5.4.

## What you'll learn

- **Anticipating Outcomes: Simulating Fabrication with Robotic Movements and Grasshopper**

- **Creating Kinematic Models: Developing Forward Kinematics for Industrial Robots**

- **Material-Physics Simulation: Achieving Realistic Interactions with Flexhopper**

- **Visualizing Dynamic Forms: Animation Workflows and Architectural Applications**

- **Integrating Robotics and Architecture: Exploring Outcomes in Unreal Engine 5.4**

## Methodology

**This workshop consists of two parts:

**


**Part 1.** Simulation Workflow Development





- **Forward Kinematic Model**: Using Grasshopper, you will create a kinematic model of an industrial arm robot to simulate the movement of each axis of the robot. 

- **Material-Physics Simulation: **Using Flexhopper within Grasshopper, you will build a particle-based physics model to achieve precise material behavior and interaction with collision geometries.




**Intersection of Robotics and Physics Simulation: **


**Part 2. Visualization of Simulation Outcome

**





- **Workflow Visualization:** Visualize the entire simulation workflow through a sequence of Grasshopper animations.

- **Architectural Scale Application:** Visualize the application of the resulting dynamic forms at an Architectural scale utilizing Rendering Software: **Unreal Engine 5.4**
