This project supported a studio investigating modifications to the interior of hospital spaces that promote healing. Student concepts for ergonomic furniture were incorporated into a parametric script in order to investigate new combined typologies. A selected typology combining seating and a standing desk was protoyped in full scale for human testing. This involved developing a very large foamcutting tool for the available KUKA Agilus as well as a complex path planning algorithm in order to maximize the reach of the robot.
