with a trimble a spot squad could do lay out on a job site that shit takes time and is a pain in the ass to orient your self in an empty room. 3d rendering and collisions is not an end all be all but the fuckers could work at night before crew comes in to instal thus lowering the skill level and time needed to complete a job

TFM the other day on his live stream talked about how communism will kill off the population when inflation destroys the means of production and they force the farmers to produce the product for less than they make off of said product.
though i agree with TFM in normal circumstances, however maybe it doesn't need to be that way, when we have something like robots that can be programmed to do an task, if the government wanted to, they could poor all the money into building these robots to do these tasks, this should eliminate the need of forcing ppl to work on the farms, as i said i agree with TFM, but circumstances have changed a lot since this idea was the case in the past.
when you can create robots that are programmed to farm, and as for charging stations like i mentioned in my other comment, they could easily create charging platforms using solar power with underground charging banks that serve as an purpose to swap the power usage between the bots, and then get an robot that is meant to repair other robots or for maintenance.
they could essentially put solar panels on the robots to trickle charge them so they don't run out of power quite as fast, if they wanted to allow them to work longer.
there are multiple ways to combatant this when you have automation.

i think it's really cool to what they have been able to create at Boston dynamics, but i often wonder the power source they plan on using for these robots. i know they originally used the lithium ion batteries, but these batteries are simply not enough in my opinion, basically if we want them to be and remain automatic, they need to be on their own for a time and able to handle their power source and not involve an person to change their diper lol or battery.
i mean i guess they could create several battery charging stations that are charging multiple battery banks meant for the robot and when the robot is low it stations it's self near the station and another robot mechanism built into the station swaps the battery for the new one.
or just create an better battery, i know they have been working on those graphene batteries, but i don't know if they perfected them yet or if they are ready to use.
there is this tv show on Netflix called "better than us" and it's about robots, but the charging device they use in the show was more like an wireless charging chamber the robot would walk into to charge it's self when running low on power.
it's an cool concept that i would expect to be an reality in the future as wireless charging already exists to an certain degree, but our battery tech needs to be improved to make them fully automatic for this to become the reality of things.
you don't want your robot to be like the terminator where they are powered by nuclear fusion or something unstable that could cause ppl to get sick and die, especially your customers. however i could see something like that existing for military applications.
funny thinking about this, it made me think about using nuclear power in space, but to pull something like that off would require some risky situations to make happen, it would be scary if an rocket set to go to space where something went wrong and we suffer another challenger situation and the rocket crashes down to the earth in an explosion of fire. but it would be much worse if there was some kind of nuclear mineral onboard when this happened.
so that's probably why they avoid it completely, even though if and when it's in space, it could potentially be an object with unlimited potential within our solar system when it came to data or telemetry usage or even an object with a shit ton of power that is able to collect samples on planets, such as an unmanned craft like they did with curiosity on mars.
