罗伯特•斯图尔特-史密斯工作室一直在探索通过现场3D打印来进行分布式空中机器人施工。这项研究工作目前正在进行中，并利用了与物理材料相对应的概念性数字化模拟以及3D打印硬件原型进行探索。该项目对无人机在遥远的极地作业并提供建筑避难所的能力进行了推测，这些避难所可以通过自主机器人施工的方式，用冰块建造和维护。这项研究创造了3D打印冰制压缩壳体结构建造方法，通过独特的洞穴结构设计来优化建筑的热力性能。这种设计方法结合了无人机飞行的限制条件，以及冰在温度变化情况下变化的材料属性。这些壳体结构的设计很注重无人机预定飞行过程所涌现出来的各种细节，无人机从当地的积雪中采集冰块，然后在人类难以进行室外作业的气候条件下，就地打印冰制结构。这项研究成功地利用了建筑的时间特性进行了一项设计。由于设计算法在机器人施工过程中直接发挥了作用，设计和施工成为一个统一的创造性过程。

Studio Robert Stuart-Smith has been exploring distributed aerial robotic construction through onsite 3D Printing. This work is being undertaken through both conceptual digital simulations in parallel to physical material and 3D Printing hardware prototypes. This project speculates on the ability of UAVs to operate in remote polar regions to provide building shelters that may be built and maintained through autonomous robotic ice construction. The research developed 3D Printed ice compression shell structure construction methods that optimised building thermal performance through unique cavity construction designs. The design methodology incorporated the constraints of UAV flight and the phase-changing material properties of ice as it operates under fluctuating temperatures. The shell structures are designed with an attention to detail that emerges from the bespoke flight behaviours of the UAVs which harvest the ice from local snow deposits and print the ice structure in place in a climate that humans find difficult to operate in outdoors. The research successful embraces the temporal aspects of construction as a design opportunity. With design algorithms operating directly within robotic construction; design and construction operate as one creative process.
