Robotic Constructability is an interactive explorer for 999 simulated designs of a robotically assembled cross-laminated timber (CLT) house — the open-source companion to a peer-reviewed study in Automation in Construction (2026).

Every design is scored on four objectives — embodied carbon, mobile-robot travel time, and how comfortably a robotic arm places the wall and roof panels — plus two practicalities: CLT master-sheet demand and assembly steps needing temporary support. Set your own priorities and the top designs re-rank live; scatter and parallel-coordinate views carry the live Pareto front, and every filter follows you across tabs.

Live Pareto front on any score pair — dominated designs dimmed, drag to filter, click a dot for its design card with the isometric render.
Question-phrased priority sliders re-rank all 999 designs as you drag; a shared link reproduces the exact ranking.
Every metric named for humans, with the paper’s terms and definitions one tab away; correlations are computed live from the shipped dataset.
Runs entirely in the browser from a static bundle — the dataset and renders are the study’s own research artifacts, reused as-is.

Summary view: six priority sliders with verbal levels beside live top-design cards with renders and score bars — Priority sliders with verbal levels; the top designs re-rank live as you drag.

Explore view: embodied carbon against roof robot-friendliness with the live Pareto front and an open design card — Any two scores plotted with the live Pareto front; a click opens the design card.

Gallery view: a grid of isometric CLT house renders sorted by embodied carbon — All renders in one sortable grid.
