Automated infrastructure refers to the key regional infrastructure needed for
closed-loop automation. These systems have the capacity to self-maintain and self-repair with little or no human intervention, keeping themselves in the condition and within the parameters set by the engineers. Systems such as transport networks, power generation, water treatment plants, mines, material processing plants, factories and other industrial systems. They can be developed using principles of
open design, and being fully automated enable a number of things: they can be scaled up to provide everything that the global population requires with ultimate flexibility, and it frees people to do things that
people are good at and
want to do.
