UBC’s Centre for Advanced Wood Processing, in collaboration with UBC School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA) and the University of Toronto, is excited to host “Robot Made: Large-Scale Robotic Timber Fabrication” — a hands-on workshop exploring advanced robotic milling and architectural prototyping with timber.

The 5-day intensive workshop will run from September 27 to October 1, 2025, immersing participants in robotic fabrication using a state-of-the-art seven-axis industrial robot.

Led by experts AnnaLisa Meyboom (UBC), Nicholas Hoban (University of Toronto Daniels), and Aryan Rad (U of T Civil Engineering), the workshop guides participants through parametric design, Finite Element Model structural analysis, and hands-on fabrication of a full-scale timber prototype.

Open to industry professionals, researchers, and students, this is an opportunity to gain practical skills in computational timber design and production.

Date: September 27 – October 1, 2025

Location: UBC Centre for Advanced Wood Processing, Vancouver, BC

Fee: $750 + GST
