5.30pm – Guided tour of the exhibition Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites?
What if robots didn’t replace us, but worked alongside us? Robots are capable of assembling, analysing, experimenting and learning from their mistakes. Could they take on construction work without replacing human labour? Research carried out by the CRCL – Lab for Creative Computation at EPFL explores a form of collaboration between humans and machines that departs from the traditional promise of automation. It opens the way to more inclusive building sites and non-standardised, more environmentally friendly architecture that goes beyond the mere logic of replacement and productivity.
This event will be followed by the opening of the installation NO/NC (Normally Open, Normally Closed) by the artists AATB, supported and organized in collaboration with Usinesonore and Pôle Culture (VPI).
