Part 3/8:
Located in Chadzsworth, California, Machina Labs is at the forefront of this paradigm shift. Founded by Ed, a former aerospace engineer, the company seeks to create a "robot blacksmith." His vision entails combining the dexterous skills of human craftsmen with robotic precision to manipulate metal without the traditional stamping process.
Ed’s background at SpaceX allowed him to understand both the complexity of large-scale manufacturing and the innovative potential of flexible production methods. The craftsmen of the past could manipulate metal through careful observation and manual adjustments, but Ed and his team aim to replicate these skills using intelligent robots.
