Japanese company reveals robot workers that will be used on various construction sites

A Japanese construction company recently debuted two designs for robot workers that could make up for the growing lack of human construction workers. In a report from The Daily Mail, these construction robots will only be working during evening hours. One of the robots demonstrated by Shimizu Corp. is already being used in several Japanese construction sites. Called Robo-Buddy, the automaton lifted a bunch of wooden boards before hauling them to the nearest elevator. The Robo-Buddy and its partner, the Robo-Welder, featured robotic arms that can twist and turn to fit in various spaces. Shimizu expected to start deploying them en masse in the latter half of 2018.
