00:59 < kanzure> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_manufacturing
01:13 < fenn> the wikipedia article is slightly wrong - a flexible manufacturing system will never match the production of a single purpose device, for example the fastest cnc lathe is 10 times slower than a screwcutting machine made in 1946
01:15 < fenn> automation is not necessarily flexibility
01:15 < fenn> in fact, "automated" usually conveys the sense of a single-purpose machine
01:16 < kanzure> http://www.robotcub.org/ open source robot
01:16 < kanzure> so the problem space that I was working on
01:16 < kanzure> is that you have a reconfigurable manufacturing environment
01:17 < kanzure> and what happens if I have a tool that is not the same exact tool as is expected
01:17 < kanzure> that's where the 'matter compiler' would supposedly come in, right?
01:17 < kanzure> but I think there might be no free lunch
01:17 < kanzure> soo.
