A family member that works with industrial assembly lines purchased one, and it has been a huge boon for him, especially since he doesn't have to subcontract a welder so much. He does need a person to watch over the robot for theft and most especially sabotage, but even then, it's much cheaper than a trained welder (and welds more cleanly). The construction syndicate here in Uruguay is very big and very radicalized, making construction costs ridiculously expensive compared to average wages, I fear for the first person to bring the bricklaying robot here: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/robots/a22082/watch-this-bricklaying-robot-build-a-house-in-two-days/ http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/robots/a22082/wat... Edit: the robot I'm talking about is a robotic orbital welder, something like this one: https://www.robots.com/articles/viewing/a-round-the-edge-orbital-welding https://www.robots.com/articles/viewing/a-round-the-edge-orb...
