Scientists at Cambridge University have built robots out of LEGO, to assist in their research into creating artificial bone
Despite what TV shows like CSI would have us believe, a lot of
lab work tends to be highly monotonous. It’s the type of work that could
be assigned to robots, were it not for the fact that many facilities
can’t afford the things, or can’t rationalize bringing one in for a
single project. When scientists at Cambridge University were recently
faced with a very mindless, repetitive task that was part of their
research into creating artificial bone, one of them got creative, and
built a couple of robots out of LEGO.
