We accept that branches support the joints of twigs and leaves at di erent production formula that dealt with the relationship points that may seem random but are all intentional. between cost, time, and technique. For instance a With BRANCA, its back leg supports the critical joints complete chair made by robots would be too costly, of the armrest, the seat and the back, and is made even though making it would be quicker compared to the hand. Too simple a part, and the robot’s use is joints are seen as a part of the seamless nature of the not justi ed. But if a certain critical part where made by the robot, in combination with other traditional production. With no question, BRANCA had to hold methods, the formula would allow the project to meet the right criteria – a kind of equilibrium.
