Tech: Flying Robotic Builders


They’re for “building things.”  Certainly not for hunting down the last few rogue survivors of a post-apocalyptic wasteland.  Of course, I’d still be a bit nervous to enter a structure built by these things.  I mean, I realize that a lot of the stuff we use is made by robots anyway, but…I don’t know.  It just weirds me out a little.

Architects say this new technology paves the way for new methods of engineering buildings of the future. Georgina Cooper reports.
