ANTARCTIC RESEARCH STATION

It can be robotically built according to environmental and operational requirements.

Antarctic expedition cabins built on the last continent explored by man remind us of the significant physical and mental challenges endured by early explorers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The project aims to build a modular research station in Antarctica that can be built using robots. The advantage of using robot automatic construction technology is that it can quickly build or dismantle the building function space according to the changeable extreme weather conditions in Antarctica, and reduce the loss of human and material resources in the construction of extreme weather.

Environmental Analysis Preliminary Analysis

The Antarctic Expedition Lodge, built on the last continent explored by humans, reminds us of the major physical and mental challenges that early explorers endured in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

EXISITING PROBLEMS

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

DIFFERENT SITUATIONS

More common spaces, rooms are needed.

Extreme climates

The number of people living in the research station has been reduced to a minimum.

Holidays

More meeting space and consider the stage.

Basic Part Generation And Connection Function Combination

We choose a 20cm*20cm*20cm cube as the prototype of robot.

BASE MODULE

The standard mode can carry up to 30 people for many kinds of use with small clinic and plant growing room.

MODULE PLATE

MODULE SHIPPING

VERTICAL CHANNELS

HORIZONTAL CHANNELS

The polar night mode has artificial light rooms, and mainly focuses on the basic survival needs of personnel and simplifies the office space.

BEDROOM RECREATION ROOM

Alphabets

The severe weather mode lowers the height of the building to withstand wind and snow, reduces some nonessential functional space.

The festival mode increases the recreational space for people to socialize and relax, and it has both experimental and living functions.

Festival Mode Standard Mode

With theater and entertainment space

Promote personnel exchanges and cooperation

It has both scientific research and entertainment functions

Take the lab as the core

Provide complete scientific research facilities and corresponding space

It is the basic mode of scientific research station

The festival mode can provide researchers with more relaxing entertainment activities during their research life in Antarctica, as well as communication and cooperation with other research stations around.

It has the basic experimental and living space of an Antarctic research station, and is equipped with some indoor greenhouses. It can meet most of the daily research needs of researchers.

Severe Weather Mode Polar Night Mode

Centralized dormitory and survival warehouse as the core Functional spaces are reduced and integrated The interior layout is more compact and efficient

It has artificially lit rooms

Focus on the psychological condition of personnel under polar night conditions

It disassembled the redundant auxiliary functional space, leaving only the most basic essential functional space to cope with the extreme Antarctic weather.

The artificial light room and psychological counseling room can relieve the psychological pressure of the staff under the condition of extreme night for a long time. Polar night model has both basic life and experimental work conditions.
