MIT researchers made significant steps toward creating robots that could practically and economically assemble nearly anything, including things much larger than themselves, from vehicles to buildings to larger robots. Their new study shows both assembler bots and components of the structure being built can all be made of the same subunits, and robots can move independently in large numbers to

Robotics insights. Work is being done toward having groups of robots that are capable of assembling larger structures such as buildings and even robots. Developing this kind of system requires intelligence to be built into the robots themselves so they can operate well as a team. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will play

Assembler robots make large structures from little pieces. By David L. Chandler. Today's commercial aircraft are typically manufactured in sections, often in different locations—wings at one factory, fuselage sections at another, tail components somewhere else—and then flown to a central plant in huge cargo planes for final assembly.

Whole swarms of such robots could be unleashed to create large structures such as airplane wings or space habitats. Image: Illustration courtesy of the researchers. One advantage of such assembly is that repairs and maintenance can be handled easily by the same kind of robotic process as the initial assembly.

CAMBRIDGE, MA—Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an army of tiny robots that can assemble large lattice structures, such as aircraft fuselages or wings. "What's at the heart of this is a new kind of robotics that we call relative robots," says Neil Gershenfeld, director of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms.
