Last week’s Tesla event showcased newer technology, including humanoid Optimus robots. Reports suggest that the robots were remotely controlled by human operators, despite CEO Elon Musk’s talk of autonomy.

Integrating robotics into prefabricated construction optimizes manufacturing, transportation, and assembly processes, increasing productivity and safety while reducing costs and environmental impact.

A fire-resistant concrete ADU is being built in Walnut, California with RIC Technology’s 3D printer. Builtech Construction Group is leading the project in collaboration with the City of Walnut and the LA County Fire Department.

Mathematicians once feared that the calculators might replace them. The same did the farmers feel when tractors were introduced. But, neither the robots replaced the engineers nor did the internet lead to a mass unemployment crisis.

From the dawn of human civilization, we have continuously strived to push the boundaries of architecture and construction. With the advent of cutting-edge technology, a new era has emerged, bringing forth the symbiotic relationship between robotics and the AEC industry.

In 2022, delivery robots and scooters are part of the urban landscape in Tallinn, Estonia. Starship robots circle the city, delivering food safely, securely, and above all: autonomously, thanks to advanced technology that relies on “a mixture of computer vision and GPS”.

Industrial robots are changing how we make everything. These tools are progressively changing how buildings are made by bridging the gap between the concept of a design and the way design is completed.

Strikingly exposed as an array of potted plants draped about a tower sparks innovative awe. NUDES proposal under the command of Nuru Karim showcases the ‘People’s Tower’ as an observatory attenuating on integrating nature, technology, and community contribution. Along the rippling form about 11,520 potted plants wrap the skin of the building. Every pot would be carefully sown and nurtured by members of the community and other stakeholders before being positioned in place and build for the people, by the people.

Researchers, architects and engineers from SOM created a striking and unique installation for the ‘Anatomy of Structure’ exhibition.

Hassell’s Mars Settlement divides the structural mechanism into two parts: an outer shell to be made by remote-control machines and…
