A three-week old robot at the MIT Media Lab is weaving a cocoon-like structure with a little programming help from humans. Eventually it will be autonomous. Follow IDG News Service multimedia correspondent on Twitter @nickjb.

    Edit: this particular robot is meant to be a stepping stone in that direction.

    The idea is to design a robot that can construct something based on its surroundings.

    Basically it's a fancy way to show off your new over-engineered algorithm.

    I feel cheated out of my time by this video - "right now the robot knows the positions of the hooks and is pre-programmed for the patters... researchers are planning to make it autonomous"

    So, the arm's movements are hard-coded, no robotic vision, and it looks like no sensory feedback either...at this level the project does not deserve the "MIT" in its title. Sorry.

    Please post a video when the machine is actually doing its own design and decisions. Robotic spider? Please...
