The ARCHITECTURAL ROBOTICS LAB ("ARL"), led by Keith Evan Green, imagines rooms and their furnishings as robots that enable, support, and augment inhabitants.

Practically, the ARL designs "robot-rooms" and studies how these reconfigurable rooms partner with people and what people make of them.

At the interface of design, robotics, and psychology, Architectural Robotics describes meticulous, artfully-designed physical environments and their components that act, think, and grow with their inhabitants. Architectural Robotics supports and augments us as we do things we do: work, play, learn, roam, discover, create, interconnect, heal, age.... This podcast about my book, Architectural Robotics (MIT Press) is a good intro.

The novelty of the lab's research lies in its recognition of the built environment, from furniture and rooms to buildings and metropolis, as a next frontier of human-machine interaction. More broadly, the ARL generates new vocabularies of design and complex realms of understanding how we cohabitate with each other and the things around us.

Defined by radical collaboration. the ARL addresses complex problems and opportunities of living in an increasingly cyber-physical world.
