Popular Science profiles a roboticist working on what appears to be a crude approximation of Star Trek Replicator technology -- well, not quite that sophisticated of course -- but basically a home-fab machine that automatically synthesizes materials into objects, including robots, based on computer instructions. The idea is that space-faring folks could simply take one of these "fabbers" to Mars and simply "print" new robots, complete with batteries et al, from raw source materials.
Genius.
