This is cool, but combined with this solar powered sand-using 3D printing project, I think this could be really amazing! Its an idea I day dream about a lot - it would be so awesome to have structures automatically built out of sand, without having to pay for energy.

- flogic 12y agoThat is art right there. I'm not sure it's thats useful on Earth where we have so much pre-existing infrastructure available for construction. However on the Moon or Mars it might be amazingly useful.
- patrickk 12y agoOn the Moon or Mars was my immediate thought too. A team of robots could build a bunker by sealing off an impact crater for the first humans to live in. However on Earth, I could easily imagine these robots being useful too. When they get more advanced, reducing/removing the human labour will mean we will get much cheaper buildings with really creative designs.
