About

Gonzalo Casas is a leading researcher at the intersection of computational design, robotic fabrication, and augmented reality for architecture. His work fundamentally reimagines how buildings are constructed, moving beyond prefabrication toward adaptive, on-site robotic assembly. Casas’s most influential contribution is the development of *Cooperative Augmented Assembly* (CAA), a framework that integrates augmented reality with robotic fabrication to enable real-time, human-robot collaboration on construction sites. This approach, detailed in his 2024 paper (15 citations), directly addresses the rigidity of conventional digital fabrication by allowing workers and robots to adapt to unpredictable site conditions. Earlier, his 2018 paper “Towards Automatic Path Planning for Robotically Assembled Spatial Structures” (23 citations) laid the groundwork for automated construction logistics. In a second 2018 study (16 citations), Casas pioneered a method combining 3D printing and robotic assembly to create customized connection details printed directly onto standard building components—eliminating the need for separate prefabrication. With over 50 total citations, Casas’s research is shaping the future of adaptive, on-site digital construction, making him a key figure in the next generation of architectural robotics.
