Robots building houses? I don't believe it
Robots/Machines need not small maintenance squad in great environment like semiconductor fab, but somehow they'll manage to be productive in mess like construction site?
the precision required in home building is incredibly low, a drunk human can frame without even thinking.
It will probably just be a small group of people maintaining a few machines doing the repetitive work while humans put in the final touches and fix the broken shit.
definitely 20-30 years out though, its so much easier said than done.
They don't have to be at a construction site. It can be in a factory on a production line. Prefabricated homes have been around for a while. Mobile homes are probably the most common, but there are also modular and panel homes that can be made in a factory, then put together on-site.
This site has good info about factory homes. There's a lot of cool things going on in that area.
