Building a robot with nozzles printed the largest building and broke the record
Source:
Universal robot Builder can be useful in various situations: if you have a good set of tools, this machine could dig trenches and quick to build cheap housing for those who need it, and if you adapt it under certain conditions, it is no problem to learn to build houses, even on Mars, using local soil as a building material – that such a concept had based the developers at MIT created .
During the demonstration, the robotic arm 3D printing has broken the record of other construction printers in just 13 hours to print the largest frame residential buildings of all that have ever managed to create a robot without human help. He did it with the help of foam, but developers have reported that the construction can be used and other materials — the glass, ice and even a straw.
The result was a very good preparation for the needle.
Development differs from others in that it can not only to print walls, but also knows how to dig trenches, drilling and cause isolation — everything will depend on the number of attachments and software, which he founded. According to the developers, the robot can be improved for quite a long time, gradually «training» its new specialties.
Over the machine continue to work, so called «record» full device can only with great reserve. Again, when this unit will be available, and will appear, if at all, hard to say — the developers themselves on this account, to remain silent.
