It’s a cool demo. We’re definitely getting better at making humanoids. I would
guess this is a pretty “hard coded” demo designed to work for this exact room
setup only.

It’s going to be some time before we have the machine intelligence necessary
to do enough for this robot to find a toolbox on its own, retrieve the
necessary tools, unload the drywall from a truck, carry it to the room in
question, install it, and complain about OSHA all autonomously.

Still, I’ve never seen this before. We are making progress. Just keep in mind
that an actual robot that would do this commercially is probably 20 years
away. Someone else said 10-20, and I’m inclined to think 20+ is more
realistic. As in, you hire robots for your construction because it’s
cheaper/better.

I don't think it's necessary to develop machine intelligence to do some of

the tools could be put in a specific order and put back the same way by the
robot, the drywall could have easy-to-remove arrow stickers so the robot knows
how to find it's borders, etc.

Two and a half years ago I wrote a paper on "robotic automation" for a big
financial services company. One of the conclusions was that, while the world
of things was heretofore designed with humans in mind, in "the near future"
(i.e. about where we are now), "stuff" would be designed for "machine-first"
use, rather than "human-first" use.

This isn't surprising. We've seen this before in the transition from "animal
engines" to "steam engines" (think
