⚠️ Heads up: this article is from our "experimental era" — a beautiful mess of enthusiasm ✨, caffeine ☕, and user-submitted chaos 🤹. We kept it because it’s part of our journey 🛤️ (and hey, everyone has awkward teenage years 😅).
Giant robots from Icon are 3D-printing a suburban neighborhood, with the addition of an AI architect for designing the homes. Icon's suite of new technologies includes low-carbon concrete and a new robot capable of 3D-printing two-story buildings. The innovations, introduced at SXSW, aim to revolutionize suburban living with the promise of lower cost, lower carbon, and climate-resilient homes in novel forms.
