NYU Tandon Researchers to Make 3D Printing Mobile Robots a Reality

Caption

A multidisciplinary robotics team comprising of professors at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering are designing control systems for 3D printers on robotic arms atop mobile, roving platforms. Functioning in teams --a concept called collective additive manufacturing (CAM) -- these printers, with machine learning and other artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, could repair civic structures; work in ocean depths and disaster zones; or even head to space to work on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
