MIT Professor Runs Grok Bot Agent Team That Designs, Simulates and Manufactures Real Objects
ProfBuehlerMIT · x · 2026-08-23
MIT professor Markus Buehler shared an experiment: a team of Grok Bot agents solved a complex engineering problem end to end — starting from four design cue images, inferring transferable structural principles from the pixels, synthesizing an executable interactive physics simulator, running and reasoning over experiments, optimizing the design, and finally manufacturing the best designs as real physical objects.
The whole loop worked remarkably well, and he could even direct the agents from his Apple Watch. The team included a Chief of Staff agent coordinating the workflow.
