AI-guided drones equipped with 3D printing and large language models can autonomously construct structures in hard-to-reach areas, offering new solutions for rapid disaster response and remote infrastructure.

AI-guided drones use 3D printing to build structures in hard-to-reach places

Disaster has just struck, roads are inaccessible, and people need shelter now. Rather than wait days for a rescue team, a fleet of AI-guided drones takes flight carrying materials and the ability to build shelters, reinforce infrastructure, and construct bridges to reconnect people with safety.

We train machine learning models on millions of proteins. But when it comes to making predictions, do we need them to understand all proteins at once? Often, we need an accurate model for the specific protein we are studying or designing. We address this with ProteinTTT arxiv.org/abs/2411.02109 1/🧵
