Seems that there are plans afoot to send Robot Builders to Mars. Read here. Sounds really good and a project that would have many uses on Earth once it is perfected.
These ones are specifically going to be built to build berms. Now couldn’t we use that here to support that poor little dutch boy so he can get his finger out for a rest. I think New Orleans will be screaming for these as well and as the South East of England is falling into the sea we could do with a few as well.
As well as the uses above we need some that will automatically dig tunnels, install pipes and cables and pour concrete where necessary. That must be next on the drawing board.
Of course at this stage we will still need people to plaster, paper and paint the walls as well as the internal wiring and plumbing. At least for now anyway.
