MIT professor Markus Buehler shares an experiment using a team of Grok bots to solve a complex engineering problem end to end: inferring structural principles from four reference images, synthesizing an interactive physics simulator, running and optimizing experiments, and finally manufacturing the best design as a physical part. He says the loop worked remarkably well, even coordinating agents from his Apple Watch.
