What is it about?
FabRobotics combines 3D printing with mobile swarm robots to extend the functionalities of both the printer and the robots through three core pillars: Assistive Fabrication, Adaptive Robotics, and On-Demand Interaction.

Why is it important?
This work demonstrates the possibilities available when fusing 3D prints with mobile robots. The paper explains our system's setup and the unique possibilities from on-demand 3D-printed artifacts and robot modification.
Perspectives
I hope this paper can be used as a foundation for advancing the capabilities of how 3D prints can be deployed on demand. While there are limitations, the possibilities are endless once we have more advanced fabrication techniques and robots.
