About
Ammar Mirjan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of architecture, robotics, and digital fabrication, whose work redefines how buildings are constructed. His key research areas include aerial construction, robotic assembly, and additive manufacturing for large-scale architecture. Mirjan’s most notable contribution is the development of “Impact Printing,” a novel additive manufacturing method that uses a robotic shooting process to aggregate malleable discrete elements—soft particles—whose kinetic energy bonds them upon impact, eliminating the need for traditional binders. This breakthrough, detailed in his 2021 paper (13 citations), opens new possibilities for sustainable, on-site construction. His earlier work, “Building a Bridge with Flying Robots” (2016, 45 citations), demonstrated the first-ever use of quadcopters to autonomously assemble a tensile bridge, showcasing the potential of aerial robotics in construction. Mirjan also pioneered “In Place Detailing” (2018, 16 citations), which combines 3D printing and robotic assembly to create custom connection details directly onto standard building components. His research has been recognized with awards and featured in international exhibitions, cementing his role as a leader in robotic fabrication for architecture.
