Machine Learning: The Speed-of-Light Evolution of AI & Design

Autodesk is already using this technology on a project with Airbus to reimagine and redesign a new airplane cabin partition that is stronger than the original yet half the weight. And the 3D-printed partition will be flying in the A320 later this year. Meanwhile, something else that machine learning will push forward is robotics. An example here is Autodesk's collaboration with the artist Joris Laarman and his team at MX3D to generatively design and robotically print the world's first autonomously manufactured bridge. This summer, we'll hit a button, and robots will print it--in stainless steel and without human intervention--over a canal in Amsterdam. To explore a more advanced Internet of Things, we've been collaborating with design-and-manufacturing research group Hack Rod and a film studio called Bandito Brothers to build a crazy car with a nervous system.
