This research introduces a novel approach that combines aerial drones with large language models to enable additive manufacturing in challenging environments unreachable by traditional methods.

• Integrates LLMs to interpret manufacturing instructions and plan drone flight paths
• Enables construction on elevated surfaces and remote locations
• Overcomes precision limitations of current aerial drone systems
• Creates pathways for innovative construction techniques in difficult-to-access areas

This breakthrough matters for engineering by extending additive manufacturing capabilities beyond traditional constraints, potentially revolutionizing how we approach construction in hazardous or inaccessible locations.
