A conceptual robot makes it possible to intelligently deconstruct a building, without any of the fuss or mess. There’s too much in the world to accurately quantify it, though estimates put annual production of the stuff at about 6 billion cubic yards. It’s an alarming situation, to be sure, with potentially devastating environmental effects. Consider that under normal conditions has a lifespan of just 60 to 80 years--meaning that a significant number of the world’s and bridges will have to be upgraded, if not entirely rebuilt, within our lifetimes. How, exactly, will that be accomplished? Surely not through normal demolition, which would entail untold sums of waste, noise, mess, and expense. The ERO Concrete Recycling Robot, a portable concrete-eating machine, proposes an answer.Read Full Story
