The ARCHITECTURAL ROBOTICS LAB, led by Keith Evan Green, designs and understands rooms and their furnishings as robots that enable, support, and augment their occupants.

Practically, the ARL builds "robot-rooms"—reconfigurable spaces that partner with people in everyday life.

Architectural Robotics is the practice of designing physical environments and their components to act, think, and grow with their inhabitants. These environments support and augment us as we work, play, learn, roam, discover, create, connect, heal, and age.

The ARL recognizes the built environment—from furniture and rooms to buildings and cities—as an inhabited form of intelligence. Through careful design and making, the lab develops new understandings of how we cohabitate with each other and the things around us.

This podcast about Green's book Architectural Robotics (MIT Press) serves as an introduction to the field.
