Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A true story of innovation that reads like a movie (Seth Godin), centered on a scrappy team of engineersfar from the Silicon Valley limelightand their quest to revolutionize the traditional trade of masonry by building a robot that can lay bricks.Humans have landed men on the moon, programmed cars to drive themselves, and put the knowledge of our entire civilization in your back pocket. But no onefrom MIT nerds to Army Corps engineershas ever built a robot that can lay bricks as well as a mason. Unlike the controlled conditions of a factory line, where robots are now ubiquitous, no two construction sites are alike, and a days work involves countless variablesbricks that range in size and quality, temperamental mortar mixes, uneven terrain, fickle weather, and moody foremen. Twenty-five years ago, on a challenging construction job in Syracuse, architect Nate Podkaminer had a vision of a future full of efficient, automated machines that freed bricklayers from the repetitive, toilsome burden of lifting, in bricks, the equivalent of a Ford truck every few days. Offhandedly, he mentioned the idea to his daughters boyfriend, and after some inspired scheming, the architect and engineersoon to be in-lawscofounded a humble start-up called Construction Robotics. Working out of a small trailer, they recruited a boldly unconventional team of engineers to build the Semi-Automated Mason: SAM. In classic American tradition, a small, unlikely, and eccentric family-run start-up sought to reimagine the behemoth $1 trillion construction industrythe second biggest industry in Americain bootstrap fashion. In the tradition of Tracy Kidders The Soul of a New Machine, SAM unfolds as an engineering drama, full of trials and setbacks, heated showdowns between meticulous scientists and brash bricklayers (and their even more opinionated union), and hard-earned milestone achievements. Jonathan Waldman, acclaimed author of Rust, masterfully reveals a world that surrounds us but mostly eludes our notice (The Boston Globe). Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781501140600
