It's a 3D printer, and 3D assembly station! 🖨️
The Functgraph developed at Meiji University starts as a regular 3D printer but upgrades itself into a mini factory. It can print parts for its own tools, pick them up, clean them, and put them together, all by itself.
Think of it like a robot that can 3D print a spatula, assemble it, and then use it to flip pancakes. 🥞
Instead of just printing objects, the Functgraph can actually perform physical tasks, like folding laundry or slicing vegetables, by using printed and assembled tools.
It’s a step toward the idea of a robot that can download "apps" as physical skills, much like your phone downloads software! 👀
