Self Replicating Machines

The book examines the scientific and engineering foundations required to understand self-replication, spanning robotics, materials science, and computer science. It argues that despite the hurdles, developing these machines is increasingly within reach and could lead to a paradigm shift in manufacturing, resource extraction, and space colonization.

Self Replicating Machines begins by tracing the history of self-replication concepts, then dissects the essential components of a self-replicating system. Each chapter focuses on specific engineering challenges, such as designing robust robotic systems and developing advanced materials. The book provides a rigorous analysis, drawing on academic research, patent filings, and engineering reports, while also considering the ethical and societal implications of this transformative technology.
