Researchers at the University College London have developed a robot that has the ability to autonomously build a tower structure using a versatile system of mechanical bricks. The robot, named "RoboSimian", uses its artificial intelligence to identify and select the correct bricks before placing them in the desired order. This autonomous construction technology could revolutionize the construction industry by reducing human labor and increasing efficiency. The robot can be programmed to build various structures and has the potential to significantly impact the future of construction.
