The sheer scale of this robot is almost nuts to wrap your head around as a “thinking,” autonomous creation. Sure we have massive machinery on similar scales, but those have yet to have their own “brains” to work with. There’s the huge fear every time new technology comes out that “the robots will steal our jobs,” but here’s a job no one wants. I chose to read this because at first I was skeptical that this giant robot truly was not going to steal jobs. There are always ways to spin it such that it seems that the new fancy gadget will not pose a problem in order to make it sell. However, this construction robotics company has clearly identified a real problem in the industry where labor is always in a shortage and the job is unreasonably tough. I don’t think anyone will be upset at this robot, given the long hours, demanding pace, and dangerous positions such a monotonous task like rebar tying requires.
