MIT's robotic optics lab built a working laser cavity in 50 maneuvers and under 30 minutes; when researchers moved components, it realigned them automatically with micron-scale precision

• Representative Image (AI-generated)A robot has assembled a working tabletop laser cavity in less than 30 minutes, handling the precise alignment usually done manually.
• According to MIT News, the system successfully assembled a functioning tabletop laser cavity in 50 autonomous manoeuvres within 30 minutes.
