Construction robots are being used to address US housing shortages

The technology is already helping with parts of building work, but a fully automated, humanoid-style approach is still far off.

CNBC Real Estate reports that America’s housing market continues to face tight inventory and worker constraints, which has kept home affordability under pressure.

The outlet says construction robots are increasingly being used to take on some building tasks as a potential response to the labor shortfall.

However, CNBC Real Estate adds that while robotic construction is becoming a reality, the industry is still a long way from humanoid homebuilders.
