  • Although there can be manual processing steps, to count as digital fabrication the workflow should pass through design in a computer and some kind of automated output process. So programming the embroidery of circuits would count, but hand-stitching them wouldn’t.

** Here is the guide to the installation from GitHub for Rhino 7: **

Installing the “Robots” plugin

(Though we encourage to upgrade to Rhino 7, For the older version of Rhino:

  • Download Robots plugin

  • Copy the .gha and .dll into the special folder. Make sure it is ‘Unblocked’ (Right Click on the .gha file and click on unblock button in the attributes section) Place BOTH files in your ‘Components Folder’. (Components folder can be found via grasshopper: File -> Special Folders -> Components Folders)

  • Download the folder named Robots inside the Robot libraries.rar (contains the ABBs robots at IAAC in a.3dm file) and place it inside the OS’s Documents folder:

In Windows the path will look like C:\Users\userName\Documents\Robots\RobotLibrary.xml. In Mac the path will look like HD/Users/userName/Robots/RobotLibrary.xml.

  • Open Rhino > Open Grasshopper > drag and drop the ‘robot system’ component from the plugin to verify the installation.

You can find here the files required for the installation
