The AI enabled city
Advances in robotics allow us to re-imagine urban environments. Future cities will operate as ecosystems in which humans and robots work symbiotically to accomplish tasks too laborious, dangerous or expensive to do manually. We examine how the latest developments in flying robots draw on the energy efficient adaptive strategies of living organisms that thrive in complex environments.
