A swarm of 3D printing drones for construction and repair

Dübendorf, St, writes the Swiss Federal Council.

Gallen und Thun, 22.09.2022 - An international research team led by drone expert Mirko Kovac of Empa and Imperial College London has taken bees as a model to develop a swarm of cooperative, 3D-printing drones. Under human control, these flying robots work as a team to print 3D materials for building or repairing structures while flying, as the scientists report in the cover story of the latest issue of Nature.
