Design and Robot Assisted Carpentry Joints for wooden houses
In Chile, the participation and presence of women in research in the fields of construction and architecture has increased considerably in recent years, but there is still a long way to go. The experimental research presented in this article not only demonstrates female leadership in the area of mechanization and development of robotic processes for the area of architectural design and construction, but also proposes a structural and prefabricated innovation to optimize the processes of assembly and production of houses in Chile. This study addressed the design of a traditional wooden structure of posts and beams for a single-family house in glued laminated wood of Douglas fir, a native specie grown in Southern Chile, based on robotized carpentry joints. The final objective was to design, analyze and build a prefabricated structural system with carpentry joints for the optimization of the construction and assembly process, through robotic mechanization and on-site assembly. The research was the final project of a female student to graduate with the professional degree of architect. Then, the development of the design process to build was also carried out by a team led by a female professor with three females last-year of architecture students.
