LegoGPT: New AI Tool from Carnegie Mellon Turns Text Prompts Into LEGO Models
Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a groundbreaking AI model called LegoGPT that can transform simple text prompts into fully buildable LEGO designs. This new AI LEGO builder bridges natural language and physical creation, making it possible for users to generate custom LEGO vehicles just by describing them. LegoGPT uses advanced natural language processing and computational geometry to analyze written descriptions and translate them into 3D LEGO-compatible models. For example, typing “a red sports car with oversized wheels” will generate detailed step-by-step instructions for constructing that vehicle out of LEGO bricks. Currently focused on vehicle models, LegoGPT is part of a larger effort by CMU’s computer science department to make generative AI tools more interactive and practical. The project is led by PhD student Ava Pun, who envisions...
