I mean, we are actually not far from being able to build self replicating robots by now, and with increased cpu power and image analyzing algorithms, we can make cars that navigate traffic as well as humans.

So if we take the following steps:

>Build robot a that collects metal X
>Build robot b that collects metal Y
>Build robot c that collects batteries from the dyson sphere
>Build robot d that builds dyson sphere
>Build robot e that fabricate robots a, b, c, d, e

The robots would pretty much be able to build a dyson sphere given enough time. It would start slowly, but once you have billions or trillions of robots, you'd cover large areas of a sun pretty fast.

These robots might not need an ai controlling them. They'd only have to be as smart as insects.
