Imagine if our cities were built by fleets of flying robots. A group of robot helicopters were programmed to lift and stack 1500 polystyrene bricks into a six metre-high tower at the FRAC Centre in Orléans, France. More about Flight Assembled Architecture by Gramazio & Kohler and Raffaello d’Andrea
In this movie filmed at the FRAC Centre in Orléans, flying robots created by Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler and Raffaello D’Andrea assemble a six metre-high tower from polystyrene bricks.
