200 AUAR micro factories. That’s all the UK needs to clear its entire yearly housing backlog. 🏗️

I just visited AUAR in London. They are building fully autonomous micro factories for houses. A robotic arm, a robotic saw, a robotic assembly table. All of it fits in a shipping container.

The bet: Ship the factory to the construction site. Build walls there.

For 100 years people tried to industrialize housing. Every attempt failed.
Transport costs kill the economics. The factory is too expensive, the product too heavy.

AUAR inverts it. Ship the factory, not the product.
Two containers build a village. Ten build a small town. 200 build everything the UK needs in a year. And now they are starting to scale production.

Mollie and Gilles are architects who spent a decade researching construction robotics before it was cool, they even wrote the book on it.

We visited them as they are finishing their latest micro factory for a home builder on the US East Coast. One micro factory. 40 homes. Next they will help to build new UK cities for a million people.

Disclaimer: we’re small investors, big fans..

Disclaimer 2: Yes, the housing crisis can be fixed by robots. 🦾🇪🇺

Es reicht für Kenia. Bin gespannt, ob das Gerede von „kein Antisemitismus“ „mit uns keine Vergesellschaftung“ von der Bundesebene sich in Berlin durchsetzt. Wenn nicht, kannste Grüne und SPD auch nicht mehr wählen. #ltwberlin

@BachmannRudi @darioschramm that's the point!

@antonyslumbers Absolutely - that’s how Sting finances his Tuscan wineyard ;)

I dont disagree with you, but a lot here really reminds me of the good old sampling debate in music, in case you want to read into that:

...Sampling is usually framed as a copyright problem, but the more interesting literature frames it as a creative method that copyright law has struggled to understand. Three pieces make that case from different angles.

1) https://t.co/Dg7kaXuj44 The Northeastern University Law Review's "Thou Shalt Not Steal (Unless It's Only a Little)" argues that sampling is a culturally grounded practice of building on shared expression — a musical dialogue rather than appropriation — and that courts treating any copying as theft are ruling on music they don't understand.

2) https://t.co/O4EGlQMe6F Tonya Evans' "Sampling, Looping, and Mashing … Oh My!" in the Fordham IP Journal goes further: copyright's assumption of the solitary romantic author is simply the wrong model for a genre that has, for decades, turned existing recordings into genuinely new works — and enforcing it suppresses the very creation the law was written to encourage.

3) https://t.co/8rRM4bj3cm And FACT Magazine's "Untangling the knotty world of hip-hop copyright" makes the constructive point: being sampled has repeatedly brought forgotten records renewed success, so what's broken isn't the practice but a clearance system too slow and costly to keep up with it.

@SWagenknecht Was Sie schreiben ist nicht mehr einfach nur abgrundtief dumm, sondern hochgradig verantwortungslos. Rational nur erklärbar, wenn Sie auf russischer Payroll stehen oder ideologisch so tief im Tunnel sind, dass ein Umzug nach Russland vielleicht das Beste für alle wäre.

@mikebutcher We are trying to work against that since ages. I wouldn't frame it as wealthy tech entrepreneurs versus the German system. It's rather common sense against an old, small but powerful lobby that enjoys excellent connections to the justice ministry and literally sits next door.

[Nikolas Samios @BerlinVC]

@mikebutcher Unfortunately, we have the state elections in Eastern Germany, small troubles with Russian explosives, and 100 other things on the menue these days. But if we coordinate and keep on pushing, I'm optimistic either EU Inc. and/or GmbH Law will change this

[Nikolas Samios @BerlinVC]

@mikebutcher So the goal now of the resistance must be to convince top conservative politicians that Germany just can't afford the drag on top of all the economic headaches we have. And push it sufficiently high on the agenda next to all the other "small" things that currently are happening.
