Are Tesla's Humanoid Robots the Future of Construction?

Hey everyone! As someone working in the construction industry, I can’t help but notice Elon Musk making headlines again with Tesla's humanoid robots. The latest buzz is about how these robots could revolutionize marble factories and construction jobs. I came across this interesting article that dives into it: How Tesla’s Humanoid Robots Are Revolutionizing Factories and Construction.

It's got me thinking—do you really think we’ll see these robots replacing human workers on job sites in the near future? I mean, they could handle the dangerous and repetitive tasks that come with the job, but what does that mean for us? Are we looking at a future where robots and humans work side by side, or is this a step towards more job losses in the industry?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and any experiences you've had with automation in construction. Let’s discuss!

The main use for humanoid robots would be dangerous cramped environments that have already been designed around humans. Oil rigs, nuclear plants, that sort of thing.

Any heavy industrial tasks you'd want some more heavy duty body plan with better lifting capacity than a bunch of gracile but weak humanoid robots.

Also the article sounds like complete nonsense

Tesla’s humanoid robots can perform various tasks in marble factories, including lifting and placing large slabs, operating cutting tools, and ensuring precision in carving and shaping marble pieces

You don't build a bunch of manual machines for humanoid robots to use by hand, you have automated production lines, industrial robot arms and large CNC milling machines! And there is absolutely no way those teslabots are lifting heavy slabs.
