its a script, he didn't do that himself

still very impressive it can do that.

modern houses/buildings probably in future will be 3D printed, with walls, roof and everything, there will be no human factor.

It wont be a reality for maybe 100 years, they need to solve a lot of things for that to happen.

Its a cool robot sure, but its not taking anyone's job for a long long time.

Also some people forget that there a quite a few countries with huge construction worker shortages. So much so that construction has to be delayed years sometimes. I think that will push this forward faster as well.

you can 3d print anything, SpaceX rockets are being 3D printed in parts, the problem with houses is the material used in 3d printing in heavy.

the solution is to make a material that is strong but light and cheap to make, a material that can withstand a earthquake or a hurricane, when that problem gets solved, you will see skyscrapers being build by robots.

Make Lego type houses that can be 3d printed in a factory, shipped to site, and then use those James Cameron spider bots to assemblen and pour on goo to set the blocks. Use the humanoid type bots for some of the more intricate work if spider bots can't do it.

Scripted or not it’s absolutely insane a robot can physically do any of that, I wasn’t sure this was real at first

No doubt, it's just a script on a computer. That looks around, using machine vision, identifies things and moves them around.

When you add that to all the advances in natural language AI (ChatGPT) and the visual model of DALL-E, and everything they are doing with self driving cars (including all the training you give google every time you RECAPTCHA), it will be an order of magnitude more capable.

The CLEARLY scripted nature of these demonstration videos are meant to keep people from generating a ton of fear.

The fact that it can run at all, and maintain its balance while holding and reacting to the shifting weight of a toolbag is amazing. And to cap everything off with a well executed flip. Wow.
