Algorithmic Weaving

Project Details

Designed and programmed a robotic arm system capable of fabricating images using thread, inspired by agent-based simulation models such as Langton's Ant and Conway's Game of Life. The project explored how simple algorithmic rules can generate complex emergent patterns, and how these rules can be physically embodied in robotic fabrication.
