The most interesting topic, was Robotic Solutions, Inc. providing software for log and timber manufacturing industry and ABB Robot Demonstration: Design to Log Panels. Of course a group of handcrafted log professionals were certain to have varying opinions on using robotics in handcrafted log building, but the presentations were informative and interesting for all.
While the robotic portion of the conference was in Frontier Builders, Inc., yard, most of the speakers and conference events were held at the historic Gateway Lodge in a nostalgic timber structure that dates to the 1930’s. The annual conference typically rotates between locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan every year, but at the annual meeting the consensus was to return again to the Gateway Lodge for the 2026 conference. An educational fundraising build to jointly use robotics and handcrafted techniques is being discussed to explore how old and new technologies can be used together in the name of crafting logs.
