About Us
The MSD Robotics lab is an advanced experimental fabrication facility within the Melbourne School of Design at the University of Melbourne. The MSD Robotics Lab uses a project-based model to develop research capabilities around the application of robots to Architecture and Construction. The Lab also assists in the translation of these capabilities to teaching and learning. The Robotics Lab is opening to all staff and students within the University of Melbourne. We are also open to working with industry. Please contact us if you have any questions about the lab.Opening Hours:
Monday to Friday: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm-
Access
The Maker Spaces are advanced fabrication and making spaces that require students and staff to undergo training before they can access the services and facilities.
