This PhD-level course begins with an overview of the COMPAS framework basics, and then introduces digital fabrication methods and tools based on it. Students learn fundamentals of robotics, robot kinematics and planning, and basics of robot control applied in the domain of architecture and digital fabrication using the COMPAS and COMPAS FAB framework and open source tools.

This course will present methods of scientific machine and deep learning (ML / DL) for applications in design and construction. After providing proper background on ML and the scientific ML (SciML) track, several applications of SciML together with their computational implementation during the design and construction process of the built environment are examined.
