Framework poster: sketch to AI-generated furniture to robotic fabrication

Overview

A human-centered generative AI (GAI) approach for intelligent construction, demonstrated through furniture design. Combining stable-diffusion generation with optimisation algorithms, the method reflects user preferences while ensuring structural stability: starting from a 2D sketch, designs are AI-generated and refined, then optimised for material performance, and finally produced by robotic arm. Text prompts and sketches adjust style with ease, enhancing the design workflow and the integration of AI into the architectural field.

Methodology

  • 2D sketch → AI generation and refinement → material-performance optimisation → robotic production
  • Stable diffusion conditioned by text prompts and sketches for style control
  • Optimisation algorithms balancing structural stability and user preference
