LEGO CNC milling machine & open source robotic arm. Image credit: Marta Malé-Alemany. Meet George Jetson: (FAB)BOTS are robots or machines that fabricate structures and spatial formations for architecture. Designed by students, the robot prototypes shown here are inspired by insects, use recycled plastic bags to create structures, fabricate floating houses for the future and even use the sun to laser cut. Intended to meet on-site deployment strategies using locally available materials, these robotic proposals could serve as alternative construction me… Read the full story on TreeHugger
