MULTI-COMPONENT SYSTEM RESEARCH

Our specialization is “multi component system”. We are trying to make components that can adapt (move, rotate, change color, etc.) by using real time information provided by sensors. In our specialization we search deep to find the optimal shape for these components within several conditions.

Mapping will be used as a tool to identify the patterns and understand them. It explains the found information to our validators as well.
We are searching for simple but effecting techniques to make the adaption happen. For this we are using existing systems and other prototypes as our example. To connect and disconnect these components we are taking inspiration from toys’ components and connections. These toy connections though look relatively easy and simple, still are capable of creating strong and effective connections.As general question still remains for our project, how to create a non-standard structure out of standard components?




PATTERNS AND GEOMETRY

We experiment with patterns which generally find references to the nature. A self-organization pattern as the one we will use is dynamic and gets developed over time. Based to the principles of self-similarity (the fundamental principle of a self-similar structure is the repetition of a unit pattern on different size scales), we can create a structure which theoretically can be extended to infinity and to adapt to every site.

PARAMETERS

For our project we are collecting two kinds of parameters.


To create our structure we are collecting parameters from the site and its environment. We are using the average value of the wind and sun seen over a year. Further we collect information from the existing pathway and linkages.


The parameters for our components are real time collected. We will place sensors on our components that will collect information which will be directly processed.
