▂ ▃ ▅ Urban Solutions ▅ ▃ ▂ Major advances in robot technology promise to have a profound impact on the construction industry via the automation of core building processes which enable them to perform increasingly complex tasks. One of these processes is “Contour Crafting,” which combines 3D printing with advanced robotics to pump liquid concrete into the precise forms and patterns that comprise the structure of a building. Besides cutting time, costs and being carbon efficient, Contour Crafting could also be adapted to rapidly construct housing for disaster-hit areas, remote and hostile environments, or even off-world environments. ow.ly/s8Rdr
