Building structures in difficult-to-reach locations is a daunting task, as bringing in the cranes, scaffolding and whatnot can be difficult. That's why scientists are creating a bee-inspired system, which uses flying 3D-printing drones to do the job.
Researchers at Imperial College London and Empa have led the development of Aerial-AM (Aerial Additive Manufacturing), a fleet of bee-inspired 3D printers that build and repair structures while airborne.
