Your polystyrene dreams can come true with an industrial robot arm
If you've been waiting to command a giant robot arm to do your artistic bidding, Robochop is here and it'll let you hack (or delicately sculpt) your own custom design from a 50-centimeter cube of "durable foam". You (or people visiting the robot arms in person) will be able to design and create a piece of furniture through a web app that will go live online at Code-n.org from March 15. More than the polystyrene creations themselves, the appeal lies in the spectacle of seeing a giant industrial robot cut away with a hot wire cutting tool: four arms will be slicing their way through 2,000 yellow blocks at Hanover's CeBIT tech show next month.
