Carpenters

Some jobs will definitely be occupied but in the premium segment, where there are extreme accuracy requirements and complex furniture, people will always be needed and wanted even if the jobs could be done by robots.

I've worked in carpentry for a few years. Seen most aspects of carpentry from my father. He was the person who designed, made, install custom cabinets.

Maybe an integration where we use it to show a client a design or how which wood would be better.

If you ask me whether they'll replace my job, I heavily doubt it, however I do believe AI will be useful to both carpenters and clients alike.

I'm a chippy, ok furniture can be done by ai, but renovating a house is different, lot's of different repairs

Carpenters do so many different things that require complex ranges of motion.

Some tasks could be replaced but it will likely be a while before robots fully replace human carpenters.

Carpentry will never die completely but the money will/already has.... Skirting Architrave handrails will all be pre cut your already starting to see it now so Everything will be pre fab inevitably the pay scale will just go down and down

A robot cannot build a house, piece by piece.

I'd like to see a robot put breakers into an electrical panel, lay tile in a tight bathroom, hang a cabinet, or install a four-piece crown moulding.

Sure, you can get a 3D-printed concrete house, but you still have to run electrical and plumbing, among other things.

I don't see it happening.

Why do robots have to take our jobs What happens when we can't do a job then we can't make money to support us.

"It is something precise and with a very high degree of complexity."

I would agree with installers which are most carpenters today as I am not I am a custom designer/build from furniture to homes to custom interiors I can build anything from raw materials There are few carpenters left like me I never feel when the economy, tanks

movement /and split dissensions over thousands of variables

I have a lot of different tasks to do and moving to my working positions needs climbing or crawling. Standard houses can be made bi robots, but repairing a 100 year's old roof will stay a job for humans more than 30 years.

I can see it likely that new build houses will be built by robots but I do t think they will be able to retro fit houses which have already been built by humans. And there are still and will be millions of houses to retro fit in decades to come.

Computers will never be able to problem solve real world situations when it comes to construction whether it's structural, finish and or scenic. Carpenters will not and cannot be replaced by computer.

I mean, its possible, BUT it will require a robot that can move as freely as humans, think with the same level of intelligence and "emotion" as humans (as a captender making a tough call, you think what would the client like, maybe i should focus on making this look good, But how does a robot know what "looks good" under extremely specific situations) Every job is different, from the setting/location, weather, what and how the client wants, improvising and changing cuts/plans/drawing based on the house/job. No carpenter has ever made a cut without accounting for errors in the house from previous construction. robots might replace carpenders, electricians, plummers, and all these trades. BUT it will not be easy, like at all. would you hire a robot to do the job a human can do, but worse?

Carpentry is a skilled trade. There's no mass production, you have to think carefully, and good communication is also necessary.

no way, no how there's just too many variables involved on a day to day basis, not to mention robotics is pretty far away from having viable robots that can actually do the work.

I would have loved having a couple of robots do the heavy lifting during my 27 years as a carpenter.

AI and ML are here to stay, and I believe the jobs that are created from the advancement of technology will far outweigh the losses. There will also be better jobs that give us a better quality of life.

Don't forget, we'll be building differently with 3D printing.
