Buildings for the new age.
Every one knows what a printer does. How would it be if the ink in the printer is replaced with glue or fast setting cement..?
Yes the new era of robotic construction is in the verge of commencing.
Giant robots when fed with liquid cement would build walls just as a printer prints a line. For a printer a circle is no way different form a rectangle. Thus arched features which are a symbol of art and complexity can now be simplified to a mathematical equation and built a computer and a robot.
A foresight
This robot when prototyped, would have applications right form building cheap extremely fast houses/huts for the tsunami affected to
Building signal towers in Mars.
This idea has been materialized by Prof. Behrokh Khoshnevis an engineering professor form the University of California.
The robot is named ‘Contour Crafter’. It builds structure layer by layer moving at the speed of 4 inches per second.

Ur technical post abt noise pollution and integration of GIS made effective to read.......
cheers,
keep blogging!!!
new concept... was excited wen envisaged such a scene..made me search to get some addl info abt it.. robotics n AI wud be instrumental in building up the future world.. no doubt abt it..
hey dude..will like you to read Feynnman and his nanotechnology ideas..you will like it.
perhaps, i should like to.. but im neither an electronics student, nor know a word about it.. tell me something viable.
