Here’s my famous quote about robots

Called “ let me know when a robot can do my job”

I’m just a regular old contractor guy , who gets up at seven , drive somewhere , do some work

Here’s a short list of things I Gotta do most days, and I’d love to see any robot do any of them. I know computers is smart ( southern joke ).

but they can’t really do what human beings can do

Like

1- Secure a 32 foot ladder onto the roof of a vehicle

2- Put said ladder off of the roof at jobsite ; and secure to building and roof search for safe travel up and down by employees

3- Manage employees ; keep them busy ; tell them what to do ; Keep them from fighting with each other or wasting time and keep an eye on them and their work

4- Figure out on your own who are the most valuable employees ; and work who can be trusted without you around

5- Take an electrical panel out of the wall - disconnect all of the circuits - figure out how you’re going to put the new one on the wall ; and look pretty !!!

6- put the new service on the wall ; seal it ; reconnect all of the circuits

7- Meet the inspector and pass inspection

So soon as Aruba can do any one of those seven things and I can come up with another 50 or 60 in about 10 minutes

for instance. swim across a pond

I’ll give computers that they’re very very smart

but agile? Not really

Ever hear the old story of John Henry the “steel-driving man?”There was a time when track was laid by hand because no machine could do it. Robots that do all the things you listed are coming. Robots that don’t take breaks or stop working after eight hours. Maybe not this year, or next, but it will happen.

I’d love to have a robot on site which could make accurate cuts, pick straight lumber, carry 100s of lbs of materials back/forth, hold materials, laser level/plumb, laser measure etc.

I bet an individual robot on site, will take place of 2 or 3 workers one day.

Granted...only for certain tasks and mostly repetitive tasks, but I have hired many workers in the past who are not able to.

Imagine being able to call out a measurement and having it accurately cut, passed to you and have it actually fit every time.

Almost like a mobile cnc...

Just a couple thoughts
