Assembler robot groups have potential for making larger structures

Control Engineering

Robotics insights. Work is being done toward having groups of robots that are capable of assembling larger structures such as buildings and even robots. Developing this kind of system requires intelligence to be built into the robots themselves so they can operate well as a team. There’s just the structure.”.
