Your car, shoes, clothes and many more are already made automatically by robots, but your house is not! Which doesn’t make any sense at all considering the fact that we are living in the 21st century. Well, that is about to change if Dr. Behrokh Khoshnevis and his team are able to prove that robots are able to replace human in the construction industry. The project cost about $1.5 million, the robot is designed to build a two-story house in 24 hours with zero help from puny humans. Materials? Non other than concrete and gypsum.

By building almost an entire house from just two materials — concrete and gypsum — the robots will eliminate the need for dozens of traditional components, including floorboards, wooden window frames and possibly even wallpaper. It may eventually be possible to use specially treated gypsum instead of glass window panes.

This whole robot thing reminds me of the animated movie – animatrix. It started when the human race invented robots, soon these robots would replace the human as cheap labor in almost every industry, especially the construction industry. The rich get richer by buying more robots as “slaves”… … and soon we humans become lazy, totally helpless without these robots… … a dejavu feeling, it is like the whole American Slavery thing repeating all over again.
