Automated Construction Systems
The machine in the foreground is a multi-function unit.
Here, it is used to lift and insert prefabricated housing
components into a support structure. Although these "prefab"
units will be composed of standard components, they will
be of a modular design of such a wide and diverse array
as to allow maximum individual expression in interior
design and décor.
Automated Cranes
The construction of these industrial and research complexes
in the Circular City can be carried out by robotic equipment
that will receive instructions via satellite. Automated
cranes travel along the buildings' length installing floors,
windows, curtain walls, roofing, and other components
from the ground up. These devices will contain sensors
to minimize industrial accidents or collisions with other
devices or living beings.
Laser Excavator
This scene depicts a laser excavator of the future. Such
devices, which could be directed via satellite, would
be capable of fusing the earth beneath it into a molten
magma-like material. This machine would be able to change
its shape to conform to a wide range of contours such
as canals, roads, and waterways.
Industrial Robots
These "multi access industrial robots" will utilize vast
information resources, which will enable them to received
commands via satellite up-link or on-site. They can also
be designed to take appropriate actions in the absence
of human directives by combining an array of sensors and
receivers with sophisticated decision making abilities.
They will be capable of handling a wide range of industrial
production tasks, and will be able to upgrade their level
of service and replace defective or worn parts. These
mega robots will communicate with one another to coordinate
delivery of the required materials for each project.
If technology does not liberate all people for the
pursuit of higher aspirations in human achievement,
then all its technical potential will be meaningless.
