There's a video of the robotic building woodworking system for building components.[1] (This article is from their VC firm.) The video is so bad that, if weren't from ABB, a legit robotics company, it would clearly be a scam. They never show the robot at work for more than 1-2 seconds at a time. It's not clear how much of the job it does. The video is about 90% filler - quick cuts, talking heads, scenery. It's not even clear what they're making. All they show is a robot moving some wood around.

Assembling building panels with robots in factories with has been done, but it takes a bigger factory, because what's being made is large.[2] That's a legit video showing the whole process of making housing panels.
