MIT Inchworm Robot Aims to Build Lego-Style Houses from Voxels
MIT researchers unveiled MILAbot, an open‑source inchworm robot that assembles Lego-like voxel blocks into space-frame structures by anchoring and grabbing bricks, potentially lowering embodied energy versus concrete and reducing labor compared with balloon framing; it's an early-stage technique focused on framing rather than a ready-made home solution.
