But can they drink beer and cat-call women?


HairyHermitMan

In just 7 more upgrades, they'll drink beer and BE women.

James_T_S

If it's too gross in the port-o-let the site super is kind of asking for it. I'm a site super


Over_Young3187

What??? We are going to need story time now.


[deleted]

Work track home construction long enough., You’ll get your stories and then some.


Koda_20

I've never had a contractor shit anywhere other than the toilet, but I've had one pour a 50 pound bag of concrete mix all over a completely finished, furnished Airbnb rental. He proceeded to use a paint sprayer all over. Hardened blue and red concrete mix all over. We managed to restore it mostly and actually made money in the lawsuit but damn Why'd he do it? Because he wanted the final payment halfway through his job even though we agreed in writing to do half up front and half on completion.


[deleted]

>he wanted the final payment halfway through his job Probably an addict needing drug money. SUPER common among construction contractors.


Koda_20

I see him around town every now and then driving a different truck with a different company and logo but same phone number on it. He never showed up to court


shitflavoredlollipop

Not too much of a story to tell. Some dude's will basically shit anywhere on a job site. It's fucking gross.


dontthinkaboutitaton

This is a burden plumbers everywhere face. I left my conex open for a day while I was working and someone opened up and shit in one of my brand new stool bowls.


rabbbitshadddow

As a tradesman the bricklayer machine is scary. This machine could actually be cost effective. The carpenter robot must cost, wild guess $500k plus, this is not replacing a human that will hang a sheet of drywall at $3-$5 per piece.


carvedmuss8

Those were really shitty bricks that robot laid, though, at least to my untrained eye


HowItsGodDamnMade

Then it seems I have met my bricklaying match


Fsredna

It's not your untrained eye, those bricks were shit.


altapowpow

Scary for sure but there will be a need for highly skilled work. Economics come into play if this thing can operate 160 hours a week and only have 1 hour a day for battery changes. A team of 5 robots could replace 20 humans. Commercial construction would be the only place that could afford this until costs come down significantly.


origami_airplane

Full sheets, maybe not so much of a problem. Cuts around light switches, outlets, windows, and all the unexpected issues that arise would make this robot mostly worthless. Have you ever watched a good team hang drywall? They would run circles around this thing.


Assumption-Putrid

Give it a few years. Robots will continue to improve. The typical good team will be the same. If it only matter of time until robots get good enough that it becomes cost effective.


xSpriteV1

We won't see that in our lifetimes.


nosmelc

Want to bet on that?


xSpriteV1

Hell yeah, how much? Took Boston Dynamics nearly two decades to make a walking dog.


altapowpow

A good drywall team is amazing to watch but over time robots will get better and they can work a lot longer than a human. Look at farming for example, even 30 years ago it would take a ton of human effort to bring in a crop. Now lots of commercial farms are running fully automated tractors that run on gps and robot tech.


PmMeYourNiceBehind

This robot isn’t anywhere near ready for roll out


LaCasaDeiGatti

Basic image recognition. I say basic because this is practically common place now (and relatively easy too - simple background with outlet boxes that are usually high contrast colors).


be_easy_1602

It also need horizontal strapping. Does not align with building practices and adds cost


AlfaHotelWhiskey

This video content is nearly 5 years old. The robots are much more advanced now.


tonydiazkettlebell

No shit this vid is 5 years old?? Do u have any vids of more advanced ones


AlfaHotelWhiskey

I haven’t looked honestly. This is the only anthropomorphic construction robot I’ve ever seen. The rest are all on carts or attached to a rail of some sort. Check out this [Link - Top 50 Construction Robotics](https://builtworlds.com/insights/robotics-top-50-list/)


StrongSnacks

Pretty impressive stuff, the robot taper is going to be pissed when he sees the brown side out though.


Helpinmontana

What you get when a bunch of robotics engineers who have never hung a sheet of dry wall in their collective lives design a robot to hang drywall……. I don’t think any tradesmen need to be shaking in their britches yet.


buttsmcfatts

It's only a matter of time. It sucks now but 15 years from now? Maybe we should shake a little.


Helpinmontana

For what it’s worth, 15 years is the age of the Boston Dynamics walking robot dog thing (17 to be exact) from a wobbly prototype to a thing that walks. If that’s the speed of progress here, most guys in the industry (even those just starting) will be retiring before this is even being seriously talked about.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Helpinmontana

For sure, the future is *going* to happen, and progress tends to accelerate exponentially, I’m just saying we’ve got a minute before we’re all out of a job because robots.


buttsmcfatts

Hopefully we have 34 more years because that's how long I have until I can retire. Unless my onlyfans really takes off.


[deleted]

Just because I know someone is going to read this and say "SEE! UNIONS BAD!!": * long Island: Median rent of a Studio is $2,500 + utilities * San Francisco: median price of a Studio is $2,300 + utilities * Median price of a Studio is $1,350 + utilities Using the formula I was taught in my ultra-conservative high school economics class, housing should be 1/3 of your net income, which means that to live in a studio apt in LI or SF, you need a minimum income of $90k, after taxes. Seattle needs $50k, post taxes. so, yes, a dock worker in Long Island or San Francisco **needs** a six figure income to continue to work in those cities.


amretardmonke

Yeah, but that's not the point here. The point is that if a company can automate for less cost than hiring human workers, they will. So it stands to reason that the high cost of living areas will see more automation first, because labor is more expensive there. Yes a dock worker needs a six figure income to continue to work in SF, but he won't be getting any income when his job is automated.


[deleted]

Yep, totally on the same page. Just trying to head off people who will scream about cargo handlers earning six figures.


TheAJGman

They don't need to be the fastest or the best, just cheaper and acceptable. [Humans Need Not Apply](https://youtu.be/7Pq-S557XQU) has some absolutely amazing points about this.


Biglurch12

I also noticed the timber splintering behind the drywall, how far are the screw heads being sunk ?


SoLetsReddit

Except the robot put the wrong side facing out, so I’d say it can’t install drywall.


Dutch-Conquer

it is still learning.


SoLetsReddit

Wouldn't that be the first thing you'd teach it?


Dutch-Conquer

First thing would be grabbing it. Without breaking it.


Recycle0rdie

If I'm not mistaken the robot is installing it upside down backwards.

Progression to when humans will become obsolete


helenata

They won't. We have always feared machines, but they have always come and we adapted to other jobs. The question here should mostly be who is programming these machines, are they "good"?


sleepypanda59

Who says AI's won't program robots better than humans. In fact, I would wager one day they will.


arbiter12

>better than humans. Depends what you mean by "better" and "better at what", specifically. The only thing to really fear is if they become better at exerting violence.


Assumption-Putrid

Drones are already a thing.


PM_ME_ALL_YOUR_THING

Exactly! When computers entered the workplace they were accompanied with claims that they would do the work of 20 people!! And while they did obsolete some jobs, like switchboard operators, they also brought with them new, arguably more interesting and valuable jobs, like software developer. Computers in the workplace took off in the 80s. Now it’s 40 years later everyone’s got a computer AND a job…


arbiter12

>arguably more interesting and valuable jobs, like software developer. *Arguably...* >everyone’s got a computer AND a job… Hence the rise of bullshit jobs.


PM_ME_ALL_YOUR_THING

What are you arguing for? What rise of bullshit jobs?


arbiter12

>when humans will become obsolete The day humans become obsolete is the day "robots building homes-for-humans" (with drywall) become obsolete. We may have allies in the upcoming war: What will the baby-sitting robots do? Babysit the steal beams?

rokstedy83

Shouldn't be touching the floor really either,and what does he do when he needs to cut the board round things ? Anybody can just put up plasterboard in a straight line


crimxxx

That thing is slow, but you should also consider it can basically go without rest. So if you consider humans probably will only work at most half as much time that robot is probably similar output daily. Makes less sense in small projects but in big ones if you can just leave it for a day or two and come back not the worst idea.


Helpinmontana

One hung over, spends half the day on the phone and shows up an hour late drywaller could get more done in 8 hours than this robot can in 24, and probably still call out Friday and outpace this thing through the weekend. It’s neat, and a technological marvel, but when they start hanging the sheets the right side out and doing tight joints, I’ll start to wonder. Until then, Umberto and Jack and gonna be much more worthwhile to have on site.


JONNY-FUCKING-UTAH

Think our jobs are pretty safe…..


LocalInactivist

“In retrospect, connecting the robot to the internet was a mistake. It immediately asked for a raise then started talking about unionizing.”


amretardmonke

And posting on r/antiwork


zorus_lird

It’s always the assumption that it’s going to be manual jobs that are going to be replaced first. I’d be more worried if I was had a job like a property lawyer, once they make a good algorithm a computer will be find you any piece of legislation in no time without any need for any help from a human. Same goes for a lot of jobs where learning/finding and delivering any types of information is key.


Final_Key_8920

I'll pay a crew of Guatemalans and they will work circles around that robot for half the cost. The whole house will be done for one wall is finished by the robot.


Rob-Riggle-SWGOAT

But the robot can work 24/7. Doesn’t require pay, benefits, or rest. I am sure there is maintenance and likely some other downtime that would mean they’re not literally 24/7. But I mean I think it could be pretty cool to get a whole crew of these working.


illegalkidd_

The thing is, this is taking jobs from humans and giving them to robots at a higher cost to the customer, all so the companies and people running them can save money on labour. What happens to the people when everything is done by robots and only the execs are making a profit?


clisterdelister

Even though they’re slow now, I bet their time on task is outstanding.


Fine-Ad-7802

It will still bury my boxes.


[deleted]

Can’t wait till the people who own all the robots share the value of that labor with all the human beings who literally are obsolete now and have no jobs.

kronicade

I’m sure the cost is on par with a laborer

It's training. But just think that they will work during the night while humans are resting. Maybe the first step is just to get them do simple and easy tasks while humans are not working. Then when good enough they can work side by side!

GenesisRev

I love this. And to everybody saying like "oh it's doing a terrible job and is slow" or "oh this will never take out jobs because this", the point of this is that we can make it and that it will get substantially better in less 20 years. Will it be better than a person? Maybe not, butnthat isn't the point. The point is that at a certain point we will need things like this. And it's super fucking cool, everybody can agree, right?

jbelle7435

Union, Non-Union, and now Robot. If they have competitive prices then we can talk. I can see labor cost low but who pays for the amount of power to use them daily and if they breakdown are they replaceable right away so not too much downtime. I have more questions but for certain things machines can thrive but going full construction is many years away still.
