前SpaceX工程师创办1872，用AI机器人造钢件工厂
Former SpaceX engineers are building a robotic factory for making steel parts
Three former SpaceX engineers have switched their attention from making rocket engines to manufacturing steel parts by using AI-driven software and robots. Their immediate goal involves establishing a prototype factory that can automate most of the steel fabrication process for crucial infrastructure components by 2027.
三位前SpaceX工程师已将注意力从制造火箭发动机转向利用AI驱动软件和机器人制造钢部件。他们的近期目标是在2027年前建立一座原型工厂，实现关键基础设施部件大部分钢材加工流程的自动化。
The startup, called 1872, officially launched on July 22 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at its Factory One facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company is initially focused on automating the manufacturing of steel skids—rectangular steel frames that can provide a moveable foundation for modular buildings—with the goal of supplying customers who are developing AI data centers or small modular nuclear reactors.
这家名为1872的初创公司于7月22日在俄亥俄州辛辛那提的Factory One工厂举行剪彩仪式，正式启动。公司初期专注于自动化制造钢制滑橇——一种可为模块化建筑提供可移动基础的矩形钢架——目标客户是正在开发AI数据中心或小型模块化核反应堆的客户。
“We're building towards autonomy, but we're not necessarily building in a dogmatic fashion towards full autonomy,” Dan Summers, CEO of 1872, told Ars. “We may achieve 80 percent autonomous operations, and we may decide that it makes sense to stop there because there's just diminishing returns to go to full 100 percent.”
“我们正朝着自主化方向努力，但并非教条式地追求完全自主化，”1872的首席执行官丹·萨默斯告诉Ars。“我们可能实现80%的自主操作，并可能决定就此止步，因为追求100%的完全自主化只会带来收益递减。”
