Crafting Fashion with Robots

Crafting Fashion with Robots aims at exploring cross-disciplinary approaches and applications in the design of new on-demand fashion accessories, by using a modified anthropomorphic robotic arm. To this end, the project proposes a partnership between ATOMLaba manufacturing company in the field of footwear design, and  WeMake, an innovative community enterprise fully engaged in the maker movement and  led by Zoe Romano.
