Robot Saws Its Own Wood, Designs Its Own House
The robot looked at the woods and saw a home. Cameras scanned the trees and algorithms plotted the shape of the wood, finding the center lines and individual strength. Mechanical brains tessellated the shape into a working form, and the robot knew what it must build. In the architecture lab, the robot set to work, trimming, carving, and shaping the logs. The form emerged from the trees, metal refining wood like hominids had first done thousands of years ago.
