    They can help in construction sites, where a complex combination of these robots can create the structure to give the architects and prospective buyers the idea of the building before actually building it.
    It can also be modified to do specific tasks in restaurants and small factories.
    They can also be used in hospitals to assist the doctors by handling them specific tools when asked during a surgery.
    These bots will bring down the costs of having a robot.

    These robots controlled by a kinect, like one with the Xbox (which sucked, and was discontinued because of that), if they release these in the US, they should make an app for it.
    Edit: these robots remind me of ants, some species of ant can join themselves together to make rafts and bridges.

      No flight experience? There were 66 years between the Kitty Hawk Flyer and Apollo 11. That is more than 10 years.
      If you are talking about rocket flight specifically, know that the Saturn V had been in development since 1932.
