In today's Disruptive Inspiration Daily: Wasp-Inspired Technology and Digital Art - Creative minds have combined the latest in drone tech with 3D printing to create structures, while digital art takes over physical spaces in Venus over Manhattan's exhibition.
Over a decade?later, a team of researchers from Imperial College London and Empa got inspired by Hansell's findings to come up with their own system of collective manufacturing. The team mixed two of the most popular technologies in the tech industry and came up with the concept of 3D printing drone swarms. With the help of AI, these drones don't have to work individually as they can build structures quickly as a group by working together. Combined with a multi-robot manufacturing framework, BuilDrones and ScanDrones make aerial manufacturing possible.
The design creates?pressure fields using several acoustic holograms, which can be used to print solid particles, gel beads, and even living cells, according to a study released on Thursday. "We were able to assemble microparticles into a three-dimensional object within a single shot using shaped ultrasound," said Kai Melde, a postdoc researcher and first author of the study.
From February 10?to March 14, 2023, New York-based gallery Venus Over Manhattan presents ‘Beyond Digital,’ an interdisciplinary art collection founded by blockchain investor and founder of NFT-focused cultural institution Aorist, Pablo Rodríguez-Fraile, and architect and designer Desiree Casoni.
