MSD Robotics Lab

The MSD Robotics Lab is an advanced experimental fabrication facility.

The MSD Robotics Lab is an advanced experimental fabrication facility in the Melbourne School of Design at the University of Melbourne.

The MSD Robotics Lab uses a project-based model to develop research capabilities around the application of robots to Architecture and Construction. We maintain the ideals of openness, accessibility, and training that have underpinned the lab since it's beginning. As such, the MSD Robotics Lab will always be open and accessible to staff and students to complete their own projects, or to be a part of our projects.

The project model will focus on a 2-stage method. The first stage will involve the development of tools, processes, materials, and software. The second stage will involve the use of these tools to design and to create. In this second stage, the developed tools, processes, materials and software will also be available for teaching, student projects, and research projects.

We are also open to working with industry. Please contact us if you have any questions about the lab.
