Although I live so far up north, that we would first need a robot that digs a hole for the house. It always looks weird to me seeing houses being built straight on the ground. We have to start our houses at least 1,5 meters below the ground here. Also, is the robot able to consider how water is going to flow around the house etc. so that it doesn't get moldy in a few years? Anyways, I'm sure this will be far better than building by hand in a few years. Can't wait! This is great, I hope it will be available soon.

Anyway, this is amazing! Imagine how much cheaper houses will be, and imagine how many fewer accidents at work we will have! Fewer people will hurt their backs lifting things; fewer people will fall down of heights etcetera. Do we know when these machines will be commercially available?
