Robotics for Architectural Restoration

In the current age of automation, there is a growing opportunity to connect design and manufacturing into a single workflow that harnesses industrial tools such as robots and brings their efficiencies to vulnerable building sites within the conservation of cultural heritage. Robot-heritage integration is key to accomplishing high-profile conservation efforts that can combine technology with site-specific cultural instances and also address the synthesis of design, time, labor, and material.This book brings together years of original research and provides practical applications, case studies with in-depth analysis, and technical guidance, including drawings and diagrams.Codarin proposes a methodology that can be developed and scaled up to maximize impact on the future of the ever-important fields of cultural heritage and historic preservation. The first book to comprehensively research the intersection of robotics, digital fabrication, restoration theory, and digital technologies in dat
