Which is why the points about non-Newtonian fluids like mortor changing viscosity seems right on the money. Anyone trying automation with normal mortor gives me zero confidence. I like the robot truck idea, seems like a winner compared to others.
Exo suits / better humans in the meantime, purpose built machines later.
- exporectomy 5y agoBogus reason. Plastic melt is also a non-Newtonian fluid and yet plastic parts production is thoroughly automated.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoI’m not sure that tracks exactly. I think the issue is the stacking of very heavy things on top of a nnf goop.
- bsder 5y agoThe issue is that "buildings have been engineered to be built by humans". So, the building tasks are set to be a compromise of materials and human skill. If we want machines to build them, then we need different systems and materials.
