The slice associated with a given time step represents a set of locations where material should be deposited to fabricate a 3D object. Based on a set of such slices, a robot engine causes a robot to fabricate the 3D object.

A method and system provides the ability to connect steel elements. A design intent model is acquired and consists of a building information model of a skeleton of a building without connections between steel elements that have geometric characteristics. A structural analysis of the structure of the model is performed and generates output consisting of member end forces at intersections of the steel elements. Via a user interface, rules are defined, that associate a potential connection with a structural steel profile. Via a user interface, a script is defined, that dictate where connections should be placed by: identifying second geometric characteristics of the potential connection, identifying forces for steel elements to be connected, comparing the design intent model, the structural analysis output and the rules to the structural steel profile, and autonomously generating and placing, based on the comparison, connections on the BIM model at applicable intersections.

Techniques are disclosed for controlling robotic systems to perform assembly tasks. In some embodiments, a robot control application receives sensor data associated with one or more parts. The robot control application applies a grasp perception model to predict one or more grasp proposals indicating regions of the one or more parts that a robotic system can grasp.

If the pose of the grasped part needs to be changed in order to assemble the part with one or more other parts, the robot control application determines movements of the robotic system required to re-grasp the part in a different pose. In addition, the robot control application determines movements of the robot system for assembling the part with the one or more other parts based on results of a motion planning technique.

Based on the set of desirability values, the intent-driven layout application selects a first candidate placement from the set of candidate placements. Subsequently, the intent-driven layout application generates a second design based on the first design, where the first spatial object has the first candidate placement within the second design.
