A reciprocal starting point.
I explored V-shaped wooden-stick modules with Kevin Seav and Megi Sinani, drawing on reciprocal structures. Each addition changes the relationships between neighbouring sticks.
Physical prototypes connected this bottom-up geometric study with the conditions of robotic assembly.

Define a module, then its next neighbour.
I worked on the geometric aggregation study with Group6. The VStickModule diagram separates creating a V-shaped module from generating the next module using previous sticks. NE, NW, SE and SW choices organise directional growth.
The planning diagram then connects that geometry to robot trajectories: generate the assembly, plan through ROS/MoveIt, export JSON and inspect the simulation. Its failure-index branch supports replanning an identified trajectory rather than treating the first plan as final.

Robot-assembly simulation of the Group6 reciprocal stick study.

Inspect the planned robot movements.
The trajectory plate distinguishes pick, place, exit and insert movements around the growing structure. We studied stick ordering and tool-frame direction, including a Z-axis correction intended to reduce gripper interference with the table.
The moving source is a robot-assembly simulation, not footage of a completed physical assembly. Read it alongside the trajectory diagram; the original assembly model and the physical photographs provide separate views of the study.

These prototypes document the team’s physical exploration alongside the planning work. The photographs and simulation do not by themselves establish collision-free execution or a verified assembly sequence for every model part.
