A senior executive at a top U.S. robotics firm once told P.W. Singer, America’s foremost expert on modern warfare technology, that before September 11, 2001, “we couldn’t get anyone to return our calls.” After the attacks? “We were told, ‘Make them as fast as you can,’” the exec claimed. And so it’s gone. (via P.W. Singer’s Robots of War | Motherboard)

3D Printing Robot Produces Chairs And Tables From Recycled Waste →
Two years ago, a Dutch student named Dirk Vander Kooij was designing furniture and preparing for his graduation project when he was inspired by an old 3D printer. So he got his hands on an industrial robot from a Chinese production line and reprogrammed it into a 3D printer to print furniture using recycled materials from old refrigerators. The robot, named Furoc, prints out furniture as a continuous line hundreds of meters long and can produce a chair in a variety of colors and designs in just 3 hours. Kooij says the method allows structures to be made 40 times faster than traditional 3D printing and can produce 4,000 chairs a year.
