people complaining about a loss of jobs but have you ever tied rebar all day? that's a job for robots not people
not to mention roofing, dig ditches, and paving streets in the summer.
DrWack0 agreed, let the robots do the shit jobs, and we will reap the benefits of increased productivity.
DrWack0 tell that to the men who rely on tying rebar to pay their bills and look after their families. However dull and tedious the job is.
Weakling. It's a job to make you s man and strong as s horse.
Better have a bad back than live on the street. The rewards will be ripped by the rich- the poor will loose the ability to sell their labour.
Excellent presentation of robots in construction; a real challenge to education;
"The paradox is that at the same time we've developed machines that behave more and more like humans, we've developed educational systems that push children to think like computers and behave like robots."
-Joichi Ito
Tor Guttorm Syvertsen no not really we are not trying to make people act like robots.
Hey stupid they want to use people as slave what are you talking about
@@benbennett-v099 why would you even bother with enslaving humans when robots will be far more effective in performing any task.....lol
I'll study mechanical engineering, but you always upload the precise interest i have at that moment!
It’s all for you 😉
I study accounting, they still have the best content lol.
Well mechanical engineers can work in robotics right?
good luck you better be a genious. m.e. is a lot harder than you think and i know very smart guys that dropped out bc they werent smart enough for it.
unleashed rider you dont have to be a genius just have to work hard, im no genius thats for damn sure.
"to take over dangerous and highly repetative jobs" ok now I'm fine with it.
I got to observe the SAM 100 in action at the International Masonry Institute in Addison, IL a few years ago. I posted video I took to our Facebook page and the reactions were startling, mostly from masons worried about losing their jobs. The manufacturer claimed it would not replace the mason, but would allow the mason to focus more on QC and to even work more years. Though I imagine future versions will provide its own QC. A high number of views to our usual posts would be 100 or more. That video received 61,000 views and over 30 comments.
As always the future is exciting and scary, and while some are pushing for trade school as an alternative to college, automation appears to show that college is still the surest way to be employed in the robotic revolution. I grew up in an auto town and saw it happen to that industry in the 80's.
those two things don't exclude each other. In Switzerland you can do an apprenticeship (which is half time trade school and half time working and learning on the job) and then continue with "professional" universities up to master's degree, and many do this nowadays. In the US this job is left to companies and it also seems to work as a system since unemployment is so low.
The problem of auto towns is just that, reliance on a single industry, but that's america I guess, towns grew out of nowhere because of a factory instead of the other way around.
Maurazio I never thought of it that way in regards to how in America factories came first followed by the towns.
In the town I grew up in, Kokomo Indiana, they found huge natural gas deposits that drew industry to an already established town. Industry drawn there was once more varied but it was eventually the auto plants that remained. There are some towns as you describe, the most extreme probably being Gary, Indiana formed in 1906 by US Steel. There, a combination of mechanization but more so outright racism is what has destroyed that city. I'm not so sure most towns were formed this way, but they clearly grew dependent on a sole industry and grew exponentially, be it from textiles in New England or steel and autos in the rust belt. But yes the ones pulling out of their slump are doing so by attracting multiple industries.
Future is now😀
I missed you guys
Your focus on construction and robotics is superb. I wonder if other channels focused on the effect of technology on other industries exist at this quality level. (i.e Marketing, Transport, Law, etc.)
If anyone knows of other channels at this level of quality please reply below. I'd greatly appreciate it.
that was a nice ending with the robot doing a back flip on your " subscribe to the B1M....." narration. awesome video!!!!
Haha, thanks!! 👍👍
I would say true AI with 'common sense' is much further away than a lot of media make it out to be. Great videos
I hear this argument so often
"AI and Robotics will eradicate many jobs, but -- as has always been the case so far -- new jobs will emerge".
What is this idea based on? Yes many people found new jobs and shifted from blue collar to white collar after the first and second industrial revolution. As mechanical work was largely autonomized, work was found in jobs that required human ingenouity and thinking.
But exactly these jobs are now tackled by AI.
What sector remains for humans?
If machines can perform mechanical tasks AND thinking tasks better than we can.
This does not have to be a bad thing. I mean the requirement for work vanishing can set humanity free to do other things. But I dont think "new jobs will be created anyway" is a sensible idea.
___
Edit: Sorry for the little rant, aside from that litte thing, great video as always :P
Mimir Fonten they aren’t going to be smarter than us (yourself possibly) AI can absolutely smoke human intelligence in some areas, but there are simple things that completely stump it, such as the subtle nuances in description and emotion, so don’t fret.
R Soul that is the case for now. But humans are Just biological machines. IT IS Just a Matter of time that we build General AI. And because electronics are a supiror medium in Terms of scalability and Speed compared to biology, IT will soon after be smarten than us
Mimir Fonten you talk it down, and I understand your negative feelings, however, there are things that AI can never do, and they are being built by humans with all their fallibility as servents of humans, so they aren’t going to wipe us out. Did your mother’s washing machine and oven render her obsolete? These measures will increase productivity, not make us useless.
R Soul i am Not frustrated at all. I Just find IT extremly Dangerous to assume General artificial intelligence is impossible. I dont See any reason why that should ne the case. I dont think IT will Happen in the next few years, but IT will Happen eventually. Just Look at the pace of Progress that is beeing Made. AS you Said, narrow ai can already Trump any human in their small field. Now imagine what will Happen if instead of a narrow Domain, the ai is generally capable.
Mimir Fonten so what you are saying is that in a couple of decades or so we can quite easily beat the most dominant organism that evolution has created over billions of years down to our own inaction and blind pursuit of technology, meanwhile even the lowliest of machine these days in developed countries has to meet all kinds of standards? Righty then.
You've won me over bro. Great videos! Keep up the great work! Next time tell us some of the programming languages and jobs supporting the robotics out there so we can plan our personal education accordingly. Simply saying what's coming is one thing, suggesting ways to prepare for it is even better. Point out caveats as well, it's always helpful to hear both pros and cons on a topic. There are no solutions, only trade-offs. Understanding them is valuable.
That last robot is more agile than I am
😂😂
True
I was thinking the same thing!!
It seems more agile than most people.
As always, another fascinating video. It's interesting to see how robots are not just making some jobs more effecient and less repetitive/dangerous, but are starting to take things like those double curved concrete molds out of the realm of the extremely expensive art pieces and making them affordable on a mass scale. It makes me wonder, especially in combination with advances in 3d printing whether we might see more ornamented, robo-baroque buildings in the future, with ornate fractal/pseduo-organic bas reliefs and cutouts that would have been otherwise obscenely expensive if not outright impossible.
Erik S nit true, nobody is going to use a 20 million $$ robot to make $50 parts. And they should be expensive, or it's not special.
people use $20 million machines to make $50 parts all the time. and the robots wont be so expensive forever, they'll get cheaper like everything else. and why should architectural pieces be expensive when they don't have to be? to make sure only the elites can have nice things? that's silly.
Erik S an assembly line robot makes millions of $50 parts we are talking about one off creations in the dozens and sporadically. Not the same thing. Nobody is going to use a 20 million robot to replace a human worker on a job site and have inferior workmanship to boot.
Erik S nit the elites but middle class and above. No not everyone should have super nice stuff.
Why not?
In the Philippines, Robot in Construction is Also Coming, Hoping by the Next Administration, The Construction Robots May be Used for Its Build Build Build Program.
Will really help for the easiest and highly repetitive tasks, however construction tasks are almost all highly custom and complex and humans are perfect to do them. It is a fun career for many workers, in most cases it is a meritocracy, where only those qualified are involved, except in union or public construction.
Dude the best part of the video by far is the end with that back flip!! That was bad ass!!!
Sending this to a mate who's a construction engineer, he needs to be up to date! :)
i am a civil engineer , my dad's a civil engineer my uncles from mothers side are all civil engineers.
I will share this with all of them.
Yay!! If they subscribe we’ll love you forever! 😉
And also you'll all loss your jobs.
@@Fx_Explains lol
I love learning about new technologies like this. So glad I found this channel, and Fred Mills is a great narrator for it.
Very interesting video
P.S Are you still doing an episode On Barangaroo in Sydney?
Excellent video... My student will be watching this in class tomorrow!!!
The backflip was completely out of the blue.
Delightful content and some wonderful audio production.
This all looks good BUT! The discussion should be about what issues robots need to overcome in order to make an impact in the construction industry. In construction the biggest issue is the terrain.
Having a robot work in a messy tight terrain is the biggest challenge. Note for example 4:37 onward the vehicles are working in a neatly cleaned and level sand terrain which is not representative of reality. The bricklaying robot (2:50) needs perfectly flat rails to work on and even then it can only do straight walls. Just about all other robots here work inside a factory floor - which isn't really construction but rather fabrication.
The most impressive robot here is 3:15 - tie bot. That robot needs to be carefully reviewed. This machine was placed on rails to build the intricate reinforcing for a bridge. What is the cost for this robot? How quick is it? How easy is it to assemble and disassemble? (ie: viability). If any prospective engineer wants to pursue robotics in construction take a good look at 3:15 - here we have something special.
When I first saw the perfect form back flip I knew it was truly game on !
question: as much as I appreciate the better efficiency of robots plus safety etc
how do we know that housing construction won't still be the same shoddy "cut corners" quality that has been around for a while ?
if the developers feel so confident about their work then no doubt they would be willing to offer a legally binding guarantee on their workmanship..
.. and thank you for the videos, excellent as ever..
Cool video. FYI that's not a Dozer @ 5:04 try Skidsteer or Bobcat
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have known a thing about these
holy cow...a robot did a backflip? *I* can't even do a backflip. Wow.
We love this video! Do you think this will really be the future?
For sure!
wow i think this is gonna help so much !
Not really, too expensive to maintain and acquire
Things will get cheaper with time too!
*Did that robot just did a backflip at the end...well damn*
The wire cutting robot produces ruled surfaces, not double-curved. There is a big a difference in between the two of them.
Those last clips from Boston Dynamic are misleading. MiniSpot and Atlas are both wirelessly control by a human operator.
Construction I believe is one of the few industries where productivity has dropped over the last few decades - an increased focus on safety (rightly so) has cut what workers can do in so many man hours. The industry's well overdue a revolution.
Fantastic video. Keep them coming.
Thank you, we will do! Thanks for watching ✊️✊️
This is amazing and so exciting! Thank you for this awesome content. Cannot wait when we'll send these robots to the Moon and Mars, to build our new homes :D
AI is a risk for sure! But by 'our' i meant civilisation as a whole, whoever that'll be
Most ridiculous comment of the day I have read so far. No worries though....I am sure your reply will be number two.
@Jeff, what do you mean?
Awesome video.
Thank you! ✊️✊️
Why don't they use multiple heads or whatever those are called on the rebar robot?
Very good question. We'll try and find out.
Another great video!
THANK YOU!!
I remember reading that when the seed drill was first invented in the mid to late 1700's it was at least
60 years before you saw them used on every farm because of the amount of farm labourers that
would have lost their jobs from that back breaking mundane kind of work.
The days of cheap labour coming over from abroad to pick and sort fruit and vegetables are certainly
over thats for sure as are shelf stackers, welding jobs and bricklayers.
Luckily for me (for now) my job as a conservation builder and plasterer is still safe but there are quite
a few jobs that aren't and as far as I can see the jobs left for humans to do will be desk bound, writing
code onto screens, IT and the sex industry, but even that could be toast.
Great video! Great work, thanks you!
maybe huge commercial jobs will take some of these robots but your average bob the builder is safe for a while i think. there are just too many misc tasks in building, especially in renovation jobs
Steve Haigh yes true but for things like concrete and rebar I hope robotics takes over that soon. It is back breaking work
I feel like the cost of building that massive rebar robot and the time spend setting it up there is propably a lot more money and work than just hiring a few workers to do it in a few hours. I'm skeptical of this robot revolution. I think people over-estimate how fast and how deep robots will penetrate work in the next 100 years or so.
The movie Elysium comes to mind when i watch these videos about robots.
We need to have big plans on construction robots because we live in city need many construction works to be done.
"Dangerous or highly repetitive tasks"? I bet he wanted to say "Repetitive and highly dangerous!" which would make a lot more sense :D
A video about what the section of the population will be doing who are doing those jobs now would be great. We are imagining a robotically enhanced future but in those videos we never hear what current manual labor jobs will be shifted towards. I’m genuinely curious. Thanks!
construction seems to be the only industry which has not improved significantly in the last 20 years due to the introduction of computing and is more or less the same since anno xxxx. It would be really interesting to see if and how robotics can change and improve construction tasks and what happens to the employment sector of the construction worker class if it has an significant effect.
many countries will fall apart fast
I for one welcome our robot 🤖 masters.
I have a hard times imagine robots to take over mutch more then on big constructionsites for skyscrapers were you can move up everything quite easily and prefab as it is stationary construction. The establishing costs seems to be to high for most of these techs for low and medium rise buildings but excavation might be quite common as we have seen terrain models spreading to smaller and smaller projects already along with machine controll however as long as we still have to have a dude with a shovel working next to the excavater for fine leveling it might simply be to dangerous.
Its going to be a long time until many of these are more cost effective and versatile enough to be used widely. Compare the cost, efficiency, versatility and resiliency of 4 30 year old experienced laborers to renting a half million (million dollar?) robot.
Some of these machines and robots will be implemented eventually for sure. But as with most of these kinds of things is usually a bit longer away than you think it is.
Many uneducated labours, especially those who are not willing to keep learning and studying new things, may lose jobs. Foremans, master carpenters, engineers, etc. may become technicians setting and adjusting robots to do the bulk of work and themselves doing the fine finishing and setting out stuff.
Awesome tech
ScrappyBarnabus your only being shown cherry picked examples.this tech fails miserably more times than you're being shown
I was literally thinking of these a few days ago
We read your mind! We know everything. Don’t ask how 😉
The B1M How?
The robot doing a backflip...was that autonomous, or were those precise movements dynamically determined by an AI?
The era of 1 robot working in the trench and 4 other robots standing around “supervising” has begun..
yes please.
How commercially available will these be in 2 years, I will need one to make an eco house on 200m2 piece of land.
That cooking kitchen hand doe
okay so... when you said most robots controlled by humans... does that suggest that there are industrial robots not under human control currently?
Andrew Yang has me looking in automation and it’s awesome
Looks like I’m going to want a variant with remote control functionality.
Excelente video /Excellent video
It is great to see robots growing in the construction industry, but lets make sure we are balance between human work and robot work.
I bought a 3d printer last week, assembled it and started making objects. Everyone at home was like I just discovered fire xd :P
You skipped over the job part very quickly. Could you expand on that point?
That was deliberate - we have a dedicated video on it coming out very soon!
laying bricks isnt stacking them up with no mortar and who puts the metal door frames in , they are installed when the bricks are layed ...
I imagine if in the future we don't need to work anymore,
earning money by relaxing at home. But there are still many things to consider, and that makes things distant ...
Real world testing will yield lots of valuable data and opportunities for even more automation. Imagine what happens when more robots come to help with supplying materials and maintaining the robot crews. Also keep in mind robot brains would not be working autonomously, the entire crew of robots could be controlled by a single brain that can see the job site from every possible angle and know the status and position of other robots, weather, traffic, material, orders. All working 24x7 without mistakes, breaks, injuries, attitude, hidden agenda, theft, malice, corner cutting, etc. etc. The continuous improvement challenge will be to see how many hours robots can do the job before humans have to step on the job site. I think estimates of when this impacts jobs has been seriously underestimated.
yay! the industry that employs the most ppl is getting robots that can work 24/7 etc!
The human mind cannot understand the complexity of robots.
Anyone thinking this will be a seamless transition doesn't know the human factor in construction lol. If they go on general strikes for pointless things and literally sabotage cranes to get days off, I hope those robots come equipped with crowbar/shovel/drill protection!
It will never hang an entry door like me.
buildin sites are too dynamic and hazardous to allow for efficent robot use that out produces a human worker or the robots will need constant supervision
Yes! Finally.
I love these mashines.
5:33 Wow! Nice back flip. We've come a long way from ASIMO.
It’s awesome isn’t it??
Absolutely!
Awesome! If Robots get used fully used in construction they can do many favorable things. Building Affordable apartment/housing for Americans. They should start quickly!
lol, wow, you won dumbest comment ever, you think prices will drop?
People complaining of job loss potential need to see past this initial fear. Once automation becomes global and commercial, we will have a surplus. This will make universal basic income or basic rations possible. People will no longer need to work just to survive. They can work for pleasure or interest which is huge.
LMAO.. They think it will lead to a 1:1 ratio of new jobs... for every million construction jobs lost 1 million created... Yea Right.... ok whatever.. carry on..
Looking at this from a different perspective I don't see this as Robots replacing Humans but rather an evolution in Human society.
Repetitive and dangerous tasks that years ago were done by humans are now carried out by machinery / robots and the humans whom used to do these asks have advanced in to new fields of employment.
Like the industrial revolution I see this as simply the natural progression of things... Again thought provoking and insightful video The B1M much appreciated and welcomed
Joe Lyons it won't be welcomed and life without a little danger and excitement is not worth living
circusboy90210 yup hear ya but say that to coal miners in Chile or deep sea divers danger and adrenaline are separated by risk what the level of that risk depends on the individual me it’s low 😂👍
there are AI systems that can write code and engineer new things from scratch with no human input. office jobs will be obsolete. There are also machines that can fix other machines...
Jason Balius ai music really sucks. It's not natural and you can sense something is wrong. Same for AI making important human decisions engineered thing lack real judgment and critical learning only humans have capacity for. Every human has hundreds of millions of years worth of learning ,and programming a machine can not have in the same time period, even with group learning
That is where you are very wrong. Humans have to learn by themselves which takes ages, also can only learn one thing at a time properly.
Machines/robots/A.I. have the capacity to upload and learn in an instant from each other and do it more than once at a time, It is inevitable that it will overtake human capacity and it will happen sooner than the sheeple realize!
Is the robot going to put the bars in place or carry them to there place i think not.
In context of future developments on Artificial Intelligence in other fields. I am most excited about the construction industry. Thanks B1M.
I'm more concerned that RoboCops are coming! They won't have human memories or feelings like Murphy
They also will not be paranoid about their own safety and trigger happy as a result.
@@trevorloughlin1492 Oh that's so comforting, thank you freak.
Love how he ends the video with a sly sentence to calm everyone’s nerves about robots taking all jobs. Lol
It’s inevitable
Jobs come and go but work still expands to consume all available resources. Work is infinite - it never ends.
Is the jumping robot real?
I made a robot with a can jar and PVC tubes. Now that I watched this video I realize that my invention is nothing, I am sad.
GOOD. Maybe I wont have to see 5 guys standing around 1 guy digging a hole and it won't take 500 years to repair highways.
People are saying the machines and robots will need humans. For their maintenance and programming they forget AI will give these machines the ability To learn and program themselvesz
The brick robots forgot the mortar
RIP Construction jobs
Hello engineer jobs.
MrMountain123 not everybody wants to be an engineer
@@vincy7171 not everyone wants to be a construction worker
There r countless instances of human caregivers abusing the young, the elderly, the disabled, etc.
So I hope robots can truly replace very possibly mean or vicious human caregivers.
old people are assholes
Yeah but can they move my science setup?
Does anyone have an ETA on when these technologies will begin to surface in the mainstream?
20-50yrs to make those robots cost more than its worth
This inspired me
Imagine what impact they gonna have in wars
Hopefully we can desanctify and delegitimise the wars, the federal government, and the military-industrial complex, before it comes to that. Like we kinda did with the mainstream media already.
Who would not take a robot lawn mower?
Before all you naysayers moan about how the robot is gonna take your job, consider the example of previous generations, who had to spend ages scrubbing clothes, cleaning houses, growing and cooking food, they had no time for other things, robots will make us more productive not having to do shit jobs, and will create employment maintaining, programming, and selling them. So don’t panic.
R Soul.. Nice Dream there.. But this is not another industrial revolution happening like a 2nd version of the one that started in the UK and spread around the world. in the early 19th century and took about 50 years to change all working! This is a very fast change of super computing and super AI robots doing work faster better than us ever could? It is the end of many if not all jobs of all the people who work in the main job sectors but of course not in the top manager levels or the bosses of these greedy companies who will jump at the chance to replace almost all if not all their human workers with a super AI based robot workforce who can learn anything we do and can work 24/7 365 days with no sickness no breaks no holidays no strikes? A dream come true for the greedy bosses who don't wish to see a workforce of slow humans when they can have smart fast AI robots instead. Yes I am a Naysayer But I work in a job like many others will soon be taken by these clever robots and seeing the rate of change it is very bad for most workers? You look at it as a better time for people.. so where will us billions of jobless go? who will fund a good level of lifestyle for us..? No Government or company will care.. they ok while should they care? So billions of jobless, poor people with nothing to look forward to, no money, no homes.. and little hope.. so a mass death sounds about right then we all jump off the mountains and high places on mass.. billions dead so the elite will be fine and rich.. either that or we rise up and destroy these robots..
Colin Campbell I’m sorry if you feel like this, but people who are stubborn have been howling about change since the dawn of humanity, and I come from the last generation that did not have a computer anywhere in the house, I am successful but not stupidly rich and bloated, and in my opinion automation is not going to wipe us out in an unstoppable torrent, even masters of industry recognise that humans are a unique 80kg self replicating learning device, that requires no engineering.
I'm also optimistic about the future, but very confident that AI will surpass our intelligence in every way that matters within 10 to 20 years, and it won't be a moment too soon. As soon as we can do away with human stupidity where it counts, we can start making a better future for ourselves. But if we don't embrace, nay, embed all that tech, we risk being left out of the loop by our then-superiors.
Before you whisk away the notion of superhuman general intelligence being realized before the first half of this century is over, consider the fact that pretty much every one who works in the field agrees that it's coming. And then there is the fact that the exponential growth of AI power is already observable, and that AI is becoming more generalized with practically every published paper. Researchers are stringing together different kinds of neural models to achieve more comprehensive and useful solutions all the time, and what's even more impressive, important strides are being made in teaching AI to improve on itself. Advances in computational parallelisation and optimization are continuous, as is the development of more accurate models of biological neuronal activity. Every single aspect of this life-changing development has been speeding up in the last couple of years. Whatever your life experience, it will help you very little in being able to predict what is to come.
Ron Netgrazer so then what in your life experience qualified you to make a prediction and then say you can’t make predictions? Bizarre.
I don't think we are near the point of super human intelligent AI. It will take a while before we get there despite all the hype. Blue Collar workers will always have a job but they'll need to get more technical than they were in the past. They'll be repairing/maintaining machines and things of that nature. Just look at how farming has evolved already... it is all technology based. You need a solid technical background to be a competitive farmer nowadays
in the future robots will clean your rooms and house and make you dinner and do your homework. hell yes!!!
