Title: The robot that can build a house?
Post by: The Village Idiot on February 17, 2010, 02:42:34 PM

There is more than one actually, some build 'dome homes'.

This one builds walls.

Thats a tiny prototype, I imagine a large one would be carried on a tractor trailer and lay down a house in a day maybe much less.

Then the electricians, carpenters and plumbers can finish the insides.
