] A robot for "printing" houses is to be trialled by the ] construction industry. It takes instructions directly ] from an architect's computerised drawings and then ] squirts successive layers of concrete on top of one other ] to build up vertical walls and domed roofs. [ science is cool. i wonder if this is a boon for the art of architecture though... i guess it could make certain complex objects easier to produce, which is probably good. -k] New Scientist -- Robot Builder could 'print' houses |
