AI and robotic arms flex new tech muscles to boost lagging home construction in Canada | CBC News
Briefly

Ramtin Attar, CEO of Promise Robotics, highlights that robotic arms equipped with AI are innovating construction by autonomously reading blueprints and making critical decisions, crucial for addressing labor shortages and the housing crisis.
Daeho Kim, a researcher in robotic construction, points out the existing disparity between the construction industry and other sectors that effectively utilize AI and robotics, indicating a need for significant modernization in construction.
As Canada faces a housing affordability crisis, technology like AI and robotics is seen as essential for expediting construction processes, potentially halving building times while still relying on manual labor for certain tasks.
Despite advancements in high-tech materials and smart homes, much of construction remains reliant on manual labor, revealing a critical gap that innovative technologies such as those offered by Promise Robotics aim to bridge.
