optimizes motion paths faster than human thought
You simulate motion paths, tune control loops, and write code to force metal limbs into doing actual work.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still physically untangle a cable jam when the simulator fails to predict gravity.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
AI models start writing your basic control scripts and unit tests.
Month 5
Generative agents run all your hardware tests in virtual environments.
Month 12
Smart software creates physical blueprints without needing your manual input.
Month 16
Robotic production cells print and assemble your experimental lab parts.
Year 2 · D-Day
The AI research loop finishes and you get a polite email.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
