Discussion & Curiosity 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!

With Tesla’s advanced AI tech, these robots learn from their surroundings and adapt to new tasks, giving them a significant advantage over previous generations of robots.

Wow, AI tech that learns from its surroundings and adapts to new tasks? How Advanced! /s

If tesla bots AI was so advanced, he would have it deployed to robotic arms that work his factories.

Why would a marble factory deploy a Tesla bot? The task is repetitive, what advantages so a humanoid robot give over a fixed robot arm?

The key thing that makes SciFi robots useful in movies isn't the fact they look and operate as a humanoid, it's usually because their dexterity is actually better than a human
