Probably works the same as any other robotic application- bot does the tedious/heavy lifting part while the fleshbags do the fine tuning/quality control/things you need a human brain for.
I agree. I suspect this is a one trick pony and can't do much beyond the tech demo. But the same was true of many computers back in the 80s, it didn't take them long to become ubiquitous general tools.
that is exactly what I was thinking. I'm sure it doesn't have the ability to actually complete a drywall job, and not have it look like absolute trash, but this is still certainly concerning for the future, because it is only a matter of time before they are able to perform these sort of tasks effectively.
Maybe you only frequent in high society, but where i am from, it is rather rare to see crown molding. In the end, does it really matter? As long the as the wall is covered and looks flat, it's functional.
no, you go tigh to the ceiling, as the ceiling should be hanging loose around the perimeter (meaning don't screw ceiling drywall in up to the wall, leave at least a few inches hanging free.) this forms a tight, straight, easy to mud joint where the wall meets the ceiling. the bottom gap (there usually is one,) will be covered by trim
How slow is it really though, when you factor in breaks, lunch, days off, the other 16 hours in a day that a human worker is at home, etc. A bot can probably swap out a battery pack and keep working within minutes.
If a company was limited to the number of robots they could own you would be supplying, directing and maintaining them as an independent contractor. Getting paid much more.
If companies are allowed to buy as many as they like we will all be broke real fast.
I agree, but those problems aren't more than ten years away from a solution.
I'm not worried though, automation and efficiency through technology has been the rule throughout human history. We have always responded by inventing new jobs, I seriously doubt we'll stop now.

helps hide the seams. if you install vertically, you'll have a seam every 4 ft going down a wall.
makes hallways look wonky.

The problem is when companies own them all.
If a company was limited to the number of robots they could own you would be supplying, directing and maintaining them as an independent contractor. Getting paid much more.

I agree they're not mature enough to use on a site right now, but give it ten years and they will be.
