Assembler robot groups have potential for making larger structures

Control Engineering

Developing this kind of system requires intelligence to be built into the robots themselves so they can operate well as a team. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will play a key role in that evolution. When we’re building these structures, you have to build in intelligence,” Gershenfeld said.
