TTool: A Supervised Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Visual Pose Detector for Tool Heads in Augmented Reality Woodworking
Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Andrea Settimi, Florian Aymanns, Naravich Chutisilp
We present TimberTool (TTool v2.1.1), a software designed for woodworking tasks assisted by augmented reality (AR), emphasizing its essential function of the real-time localization of a tool head’s poses within camera frames. The localization process, a fu ...
2024A Collaborative Workflow to Automate the Design, Analysis, and Construction of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures
Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas, Nicolas Henry Pierre Louis Rogeau, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Pierre Latteur
This paper introduces a computational framework that fosters collaboration between architects, engineers, and contractors by bridging the gap between architectural design, structural analysis, and digital construction. The present research is oriented towa ...
CAADRIA2022Experimental investigations on the load-carrying capacity of digitally produced wood-wood connections
Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Jean-François Bocquet
The rise of digital fabrication has increased the use of wood-wood connections inspired by traditional carpentry in modern timber constructions. With recent developments on standard construction systems, the mechanical behavior of such joints for in-plane ...
2020Joinery Solver for Whole Timber Structures
Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas
This paper presents a digital joinery generation method for whole-timber structures using wood-wood connections. The research is based on a collaboration with a local timber company located in a mountain area [1]. In this context, there is a need to explor ...
2020Robotic Insertion of Timber Joints using Visual Detection of Fiducial Markers
Yves Weinand, Nicolas Henry Pierre Louis Rogeau, Victor Tiberghien, Pierre Latteur
Timber building industry is facing a major transformation with digitalization and automation being more broadly adopted. Prefabricated timber frame structures can be mass-produced on large robotic assembly lines, increasing the productivity and competitive ...
2020Restoration of ancient Chinese opera spiral wooden domes, accounts of field practice
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jingxian Ye
The zaojing is a wooden construction system that covers opera stages for rain protection and sound control. Zaojings in China display a diverse range of geometric expressions, delicate manufacturing, structural behaviours, and acoustic qualities. Despite t ...
ICOMOS2019The caisson – review of a unique wooden construction typology in China
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jingxian Ye
The caisson is a wooden construction system that covers opera stages for rain protection and sound control. Caissons in China display a diverse range of geometric expressions, delicate manufacturing, structural behaviours, and acoustic qualities. Despite t ...
2018An integrated way of using a tangible user interface in a classroom
Pierre Dillenbourg, Sébastien Cuendet
Despite many years of research in CSCL, computers are still scarcely used in classrooms today. One reason for this is that the constraints of the classroom environment are neglected by designers. In this contribution, we present a CSCL environment designed ...
Springer2015Integral Mechanical Attachment for Timber Folded Plate Structures
Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller
Timber folded plate Structures combine the advantages of timber as a construction material, such as its carbon-dioxide storage, low energy production and favorable weight-to-strength ratio, with the structural efficiency and elegance of folded surface stru ...
EPFL2015Design and Fabrication of Robot-Manufactured Joints for a Curved-Folded Thin-Shell Structure Made from CLT
Yves Weinand, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller, Seyed Sina Nabaei
The prototype presented in this chapter utilizes the technique of curved folding for the design of a thin-shell structure built from curved cross-laminated timber panels (CLT). The curved-folded geometry allows for a span of 13.5 m, at a shell thickness of ...
