So the prefab parts are just going to put themselves together in the factories? Then walk themselves to the job site? And erect and inspect themselves?

This is "blue sky" thinking - but what if, just imagine - the bricks were each a robot?

That is - your house is a robot you live in. Maybe it could even reconfigure itself as needed. Complete science fiction at the moment, and may never be practical - but who knows?

I get what you're saying though - there'll always be some kind of jobs for humans - but they might be the low-hanging, anyone can do them type of jobs...

Maybe stuff more like this[1]?

But a 'robot' built that house... Didn't you say prefab would put robots out of business?

Prefab robots with delivery infrastructure put local robots out of business.

Thanks for the sarcasm; we’re talking about brick-laying robots.
