Watch this humanoid robot install drywall

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The HRP-5P is a humanoid robot from Japan Advanced Industrial Science and Technology institute that can perform common construction tasks
including — as we see above — install drywall.HRP-5P — maybe we can call it Herb — uses environmental measurement, object detection
and motion planning to perform various tasks
In this video we see it use small hooks to grab the wallboard and slide it off onto the floor
Then, with a bit of maneuvering, it able to place the board against the joists and drill them in place.&By utilizing HRP-5P as a development
platform of industry-academia collaboration, it is expected that research and development for practical use of humanoid robots in building
construction sites and assembly of large structures such as aircraft and ships will be accelerated,& write the creators.The researchers see
the robot as a replacement for an aging population and a declining birth rate
&It is expected that many industries such as the construction industry will fall into serious manual shortages in the future, and it is
urgent to solve this problem by robot technology,& the write
&Also, at work sites assembling very large structures such as building sites and assembling of aircraft / ships, workers are carrying out
dangerous heavy work, and it is desired to replace these tasks with robot technology
However, at the assembly site of these large structures, it is difficult to develop a work environment tailored to the robot, and the
introduction of robots has not progressed.&Considering there are 6 million contractors in the U.S
alone, robots like this one could be a boon or a curse
What happens when we can easily replace humans in shipping, logistics and construction Let just hope Herb here needs a supervisor.
