Listen now | As we embarked on this renewed season of the Lindahl Letter, I signaled that we would focus on three content themes. These themes included quantum computing, machines building machines, and agents taking action. We are now shifting from quantum related topics toward innovations in advanced robotics, which I group under a series of research notes titled “machines that build machines.” The future of manufacturing depends on more than automation. It hinges on the ability to rapidly prototype, iterate, and deploy the machines that make everything else possible.
