You'd need to stand well clear while running a head-cleaning cycle.

Seems like a good alternative to say, an Ikea-style flat pack house :) Regards, --Perspx

I guarantee the 1/5 number will not count what it costs to rent the robot. And that is only the first problem. How does this system handle the finishing part of the house? Note in any construction the shell is the cheapest, quickest and easiest part of the construction. Also wires and pipes go inside the concrete when it is poured? Does the robot install duct work?
