THE EXTENSION OF THE CRAFTSMAN’S HAND BY ROBOTICS

Publications: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This paper reflects ongoing research about how new technologies create new possibilities within crafting and how new technologies can build on traditional techniques within the field of ceramics. This research explores how the use of robotics extends the craftsman’s hand to utilise both the quality of the craftsman’s touch and the robot through wire cutting a lump of clay. The research shows how the craftsman can upscale the power and range of the craftsman’s hand and, at the same time, deal with small details and repetition beyond the work of the craftsman’s hand.
