"But, why are you reading about this on a 3D printing blog? Not only do we love robots but we are also working on 3D printing robot parts. If you would combine Robo Earth, with genetic algorithms that automatically design robots and 3D printing you have a very powerful combination. (((Uh, yeah.)))
"It would be a system that could design a robot based on its experiences, then give that robot all the information it needed to navigate the world and carry out tasks. Anyone could then 3D print this robot anywhere around the world. (((Do you realize who LIVES in this world?))) And the system would be one of continuous learning and iteration with better robots being made every second. We’re still very far away from this but it is these kind of ongoing developments that make me think that I live in the future...."
