This project seeks to introduce a new approach to machine-machine collaboration in the construction of fiber structures. Inspired by the traditional “cats cradle”game, the project proposes to allow for the dynamic lengthening of already-placed fiber segments between fixed pins. In contrast to typical Coreless Filament Winding, this allows for fiber to be placed on pins non-sequentially, limited only by system friction. A mobile robot and an industrial robotic arm take turns hooking a dynamically lengthening fiber onto pins in the environment.
