Robotic construction

Scientists at the University of Michigan have demonstrated an octocopter equipped with a nail gun and a knack for fixing asphalt shingles to a mock rooftop.

​We are starting to see some exciting possibilities in the field of robotic construction, and how it might not just take some of the load off human hands but give rise to an entirely new branch of architecture. The Fiberbots recently developed at MIT are one impressive example of this.
