Necto Robotics: construction robots without a central controller
Necto Robotics describes a research platform where robot fleets coordinate construction work through shared plans, local job claims, and placement checks.
- For
- Researchers and engineers exploring decentralized construction robotics
- Worth noticing
- The project reports simulation builds still complete after losing a third of the robots; several hardware components remain proposed or undecided.
Field notes
WEAVE represents a build as an Assembly Graph: each brick is a job, dependencies determine when it becomes available, and robots claim work through leases that expire if a worker goes silent. The page says a job takes about two messages and includes a visualization of a 61-brick graph. It reports simulation builds finishing after a third of the robots are lost. Hardware status is mixed: drive modules and compute are in bring-up, while several parts remain proposed and the arm is undecided.
