Build Brick wall with RObots

Hi,
I posted earlier in Atsuo Nkajima's page (http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/basic-gh-examples?comment...), and is slightly off topic so I'm posting it again here.

I have a question:
Having done the model in GH, is there anyway to convert the model into a
language where a industrial robot can understand or read and actually
build the model? I'm planning to builfd the "wall of bricks" in GH then
output it or transfer the model data to a Robot language and build the
wall with robots,

thanks,

Freddy

Though I only read some articles about it there are a few guys/gals over at ETH-Zurich experimenting with it, I guess you can always take a look at the following links or try to e-mail them directly:

For non-robot build stories about the perils of parametric brick walls, take a look at 290 Mulberry by SHoP Architects.

Hello Mattias,
Thank you for the tips, will give it a try emailing them, but will try to learn GH 1st,

thanks

Hi Taz,
I tried that method a while ago in Rhino, but not as good as the original.
Here is a download link for "Brick.zip":

I unzipped Brick.zip, openned .ghx file, please have a look at the uploaded file. I would like to know whether I need to draw a brick 1st in rhino then apply .ghx to it...or...

Next:
Once the wall is completed in Rhino and GH, output the data to another application to get the working points of sequence, another word to mange the position of point = position of brick, need a software developer to do this...

Then finally to the robot to stack the bricks---> Kuka, M
