Dominic Eger Domingos | Mastering Digital Cutting

Through various anthropological field studies, this work deconstructs already present cutting processes and establishes 10 modalities to frame the specific design challenges for digital cutting in robot-assisted surgery. In a series of experiental prototypes these 10 modalities explore concepts of digital materiality and physical interaction, considering conditions like temporality and dexterity. Furthermore, the modalities contribute to an interdisciplinary understanding of the complex interaction challenges, creating scenarios for enacting concepts thus fostering new ways of developing collaborative robotic tools.
