We regret to announce it has become clear we must postpone #sg2020 due to the impact + risks of COVID-19. This should allow us to make the most of the wonderful facilities and hospitality of Carnegie Mellon. We are aiming to reschedule for June 2021.

Update on #Corona / #COVIDー19 for #sg2020 -- @WHO, @CDCgov. smartgeometry.org + cmu.edu/alert/coronavi…

#sg2020 cluster Augmented Human-Robot-Collaboration for Builders will explore object-aware AR technology to enable human-in-the-loop design and fabrication, combining machine intelligence with human tactility and cognition. K.Doerfler + D.Mitterberger + T.Sandy @CMUSoA

#sg2020 cluster Minds Forward will investigate human-machine interaction for collaborative task design in #AEC, focusing on interfaces for communication between multiple Spot robots. @garciadelcast @BlakeHament @brianringley @MattJezyk (@HarvardGSD @unlv @BostonDynamics @Tesla)

#sg2020 cluster Vertical Integration will develop and test new tools for extending design fluidity from concept through to construction @3DSCATIA @3DSdelmia @FosterPartners @Prodtex1

#sg2020 cluster Mixed Reality Craftsmanship is a collaboration between @partisansarch + @fologm, using emerging mixed reality + real-time 3D scanning tech to accurately fabricate complex, doubly-curved metal panels by traditional hand craftwork into a sculptural installation

#sg2020 cluster flags! (v0) smartgeometry.org/sg2020workshops

#sg2020 cluster Machine Learning for Robotic Making will explore the affordances of ML generative models in controlling robotic arms to perform human-style articulated actions instead of robotesque motions. @ardavanbidgoli @manuelladron_ (@CarnegieMellon) @EPAtherton (@autodesk)

#sg2020 cluster Machines Forward will explore multi-agent, collaborative robotic task design in #AEC, with a focus on physical manipulation using multiple Spot robots. @garciadelcast @BlakeHament @brianringley @MattJezyk (@HarvardGSD @unlv @BostonDynamics @Tesla)

How do environments affect emotions? Could emotions affect environments instead? #sg2020 cluster Empathy Machines will use biometric sensing to create a responsive loop between a user and their environment, using augmented reality to affect emotions and vice versa. @SandyCurth

#sg2020 cluster Shape Machine: Visual Computation will test a new way of scripting using shapes + drawings as programming instructions, a radically new kind of computational design. Shape Computation Lab @CMUSoA #shapemachine #shapecomputationlab youtu.be/wlHdKuWjhsE

#sg2020 cluster Drawing Metrologies will explore issues of calibration and feedback in the translation of design to production via robotically-produced drawings, 3D scanning, and 3D projection. Adam Marcus @radadammarcus + Noni Pittenger @nonipittenger (smartgeometry.org/sg2020workshops)

#sg2020 cluster Vector-Suit will prototype a 4D-adaptable wearable suit using 3D computer-controlled knitting +4D vector analysis of the most advanced wearable suit designed to date..the human skin. Anna Talvi + Jim McCann (textiles-lab.github.io) @SCSatCMU @CMURoboticsInstitute

@clinckzone @CMUSoA March 15th for first round deadline, but early applications are more likely to get their first choice of cluster

#sg2020 @CMUSoA workshop applications now open. Check out the clusters here smartgeometry.org/sg2020workshops

Also!, we're very much open to suggestions of great speakers you'd like to see talk at the conference.

@cerverds #sg2022?

@Smartgeometry I misread that as laser dinosaurs and was very excited about that, it would be better than sharks with lasers. I am still excited about lasers and dinosaurs, it just laser dinosaurs sounded awesome

A real range of great ideas for #sg2020 workshop clusters! From lasers to dinosaurs.. We're reading through them all now

3 days to go!!

After some feedback about various national holidays, academic schedules etc etc, we're extending the workshop proposal deadline to Dec 20th (really really this time). If you've already submitted, feel free to tweak + resend. smartgeometry.org/sg2020
