Capush is the central project in my thesis. In this project, I explored the issues related to knowledge sharing in fabrication workshops through different concepts of capture systems.

Capush is the analysis of a design space exploring different axes identified from the nature of the different activities of people working in fabrication workshops.
This work was published at the CSCW Conference in 2022 in the article: Exploring Capturing Approaches In Shared Fabrication Workshops.
Based on a framework for decoding a fabrication activity through 5 axes, I have designed different robotic prototypes to help capture knowledge during theses activities.

Exploring Capturing Approaches in Shared Fabrication Workshops: Current Practice and Opportunities

Clara Rigaud, Gilles Bailly, Ignacio Avellino and Yvonne Jansen · Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction

Capturing content of fabrication activities is the first step for producing knowledge resources and an integral part of maker culture. As a secondary task, it conflicts though with the fabrication activity, and thus it is often forgotten and knowledge resources end up incomplete. In this article, we investigate different dimensions of content capture for knowledge resources in fabrication …

Automating Documentation Considered Harmful (Some of the Time)

Clara Rigaud, Yvonne Jansen and Gilles Bailly · CHI 2022 - Workshop: Reimagining Systems for Learning Hands-on Creative and Maker Skills

This position paper aims at triggering a discussion around systems for automating maker's documentation in a learning contex and why that might be problematic or even harmful. We first describe the context of learning in makerspace and the importance of documenting, in particular regarding the fact that it enables makers to reflect on their process. We then discuss the difficulties of documenting …
