The B1M has never disappointed, all videos are exceptional. Keep it up.
Thanks!! We will 👍
More automation means more big players kicking out smaller architects & builders, what do you think?
::pfft:: Pity those of you - as in most, yeah - who fail to grasp just how sinister a l l of B1M's backers' plans r e a l l y are: Welcome to your *_jolly_* demises, what! what! 🥂
Yep fully agree.
@@aditya_it_is There's not really any evidence to support that...
With the current trend of ten+ minute videos of nonsense, the B1M really stands out with their shorter, to the point, informative videos
Although I agree with your point, I think we would sit through a 20 minute video all the same - provided, the videos kept the same no-nonsense approach
Exactly.
If anything needs to be automated, it’s the construction of roadways! I feel that governments take advantage of the slow process that when the entire project is finally finished, it’s time to reconstruct the roadways because of all the damage they’ve endured before completion. It’s like road construction never stops on highways nowadays. We need better materials and a more streamlined process.
_What if we automated construction?_
*you need a lot of piston and redstone*
Indeed
You also need repeaters and comparators. And, you also need Observers, Slime Blocks and Honey Blocks to move the blocks in order to construct a structure.
A well cultured individual
And an additional Creeper or two, just to keep you on your toes
Ilmango: No problem
It’ll be like WALL-E but we replace the trash with actual building resources!

As a man who favors Forrest those are equally scary.
Semi-autonomous vehicles are the way to go. Nothing like construction should be fully automatic. There are just too many things that can go wrong. People need to be on site in my opinion.
In a fully automated construction, there be no mistakes as humans are the cause of most. AI will recognise input errors and check outputs. Construction of buildings will change to suite automation and factory/3D printing methods. That goes for infrastructure equipment which are installed too. Modifications to products like HVAC, fan coil units, IT, Lighting, Lighting Controls, plumbing, gas, water, sewers etc all designed for automated assembly and installation.
@@MrPDawes its just scale up of what we already do with products.
just what ive tought semi-autonomous is the way to go , im leading construction sites in germany ,and solely based on the ground , type of building , and alot of other variables . full auto aint gonna happen in the near future
AI's have no "concept of mistakes" unless you train them with sufficient and appropriate data. You cannot expect them to behave the exact way they should, there will always be unexpected outliers causing headaches among personnels involved.
This is a huge topic! It's good that you brought up job losses as there would be a big outcry from many thousands of people. I think there needs to be a much wider change overall to allow for the changes that automation in construction would bring. I love some of the concepts being tested, and I think drones are invaluable for surveys. This video will be a centrepiece for future conversations in the industry!
Samuel J those people can either find another job or accept that UBI is the future.
@@invinciblemode I just don't see UBI being our future. It would be unsustainable without a very high tax rate, in which case you might as well go the full hog and adopt communism.
@@Delosian There's a world of difference between a high tax rate and communism. I think UBI not only sounds valid, but even unavoidable in an automated future
@@remkoburger6595 I would argue that at the end it is a distinction without a difference.
It seems counterintuitive but the countries with the highest levels of automation have the lowest levels of unemployment. Look at all the jobs lost in agriculture in the past 100 years as we moved towards machines doing the manual labor. In Madagascar 75% of the population works in agriculture while in Germany and the UK it's only 1% due to automation and yet unemployment is not a huge issue in these countries.
Automated construction? That should fix the problem of small sections of sidewalks that take months to complete.
Burocratic robots lol
Transparency and truth build the basement of science and trust. Claiming automation wouldn't substitute jobs is ridiculous. Automation is gonna be inevitable on Moon or Mars. First successful totally automatised test projects were done in the 90th in Japan.
However, do we really have to reduce the costs by making hundreds of millions of people jobless? New technology creates new jobs, is always said. But never forget the fact, the new jobs are high specialised jobs. You cannot retrain a construction worker to an ai-software engineer.
most of these robots currently being testted are highly unstable and prone to fail, and are years away from even being thinkable for appications in the real wworld.
Honestly there are very few UA-cam channels that come close to this level of consistent quality and interesting content.
Definitely the definitive channel for construction.❤
✊✊✊
" not replacing job roles " mate you're in a dream world.
More likely it will enhance and improve already existing jobs and the people that do lose their jobs can do more complex jobs.
@@flyingbuns8416 look at what has happened to industries like coal mining with technology taking over, mountain top removal and the like. Those jobs are gone. The only person who benefits is the guy who owns the robots mate.
@@flyingbuns8416 If that's what happens long term, it'll be the first time in history. The people doing semi-skilled or unskilled construction work (no offence to them) will not be getting re-trained in AI programming or drone piloting techniques. They will go where people always tend to end up, on the scrap heap.
You can't stop progress though; it's fucking savage and unsentimental.
@@RustyPetterson I believe the appropriate answer to that is... 'Welcome to Walmart!'
That's the same thing people thought decades ago, now I see robots in Walmart doing the cleaning. Pretty sure automation is going to expand to other industries as well. Its basic a Capatilism skill Cheap Labor, and Competitive Sale Prices
Awesome Video!
You are a big INSPIRATION, B1M
I'm in love with Construction ❤️❤️
You're channel is so high quality 👏👏 Keep it up!
Thank you so much! We will ✊
No problem! 👌
I actually just comleted my final year degree dissertation into the use of Computer Aided Facility Management systems, BIM and Augmented Reality in Facilities and Construction Management. Cannot wait to publish it
Get in touch Brady from Real Engineering, hopefully an interesting video would come out of it!
SpinazFou i would but i still have 2 assignments left. Just don’t have the time to do it until i graduate unfortunately
mfaizsyahmi. Thank you. Does he have LinkedIn?
i must watch the same B1M video 2 times in a row, to listen to the music, to take in what is being done and to listen to Fred Mills informative narration...always great videos!
Honestly i watch many UA-cam videos but I think The B1M have the most interesting videos I have watched in a while and I love construction and want to be an architect and I would recommend to anyone who is creative and love this type of stuff
Pretty sure automated construction is here to stay, whether someone wants it, or not!
I'm shocked at how quickly the tech is advancing.
Thank you for the new video. Bravo, B1M! Truly, the Best of the 'Net!
Would love to see more in depth videos about this topic! Keep it up!
Thanks for a brilliant video yet again! 😁👍
when the video is 3 minutes ago but there are already 20 comments. Lol great video though
Really glad the B1M is looking at automated construction. I cover this content specifically on my channel but less cinematic than the B1Ms great videos!
The B1m have the quality in UA-cam!
This is truly revolutionary and visionary means of construction ways and efficiency. Technology guides us into more sophisticated living. Amazing content B1M you’re a legend👍🏼
The B1M is UA-cam in all of its glory.
Magnificent video! You make learning about construction and engineering fun! Keep kicking ass! 🙌
Your channel is amazing, always great content!
Thank you!!
I love B1M videos I’ve been watching them for so long they are always really good!!
Awesome footage as always B1M ...... love it !!! 🔥👍
How can he say not replacing jobs roles when the robot is clearly taking over the job of a drywaller
when people say labour shortage, thats mean they want cheap labour. In US case import labour.
Now the drywaller will learn use the machine or he will help in producing them.
I really don't care if automation takes over these jobs these are crappy jobs.
It's futuristic but it would take time. Nonetheless this is amazing.
Wait I thought it's suppose to be more efficient and quicker?
@@junahmad08 hahaha if you cracked joke
Otherwise, this time is about the time to develop proper machinery for automated construction.
@@IntrovertBoyz oh
The B1M never disappoints and this video most certainly did not disappoint. I'm always learning something new from your videos. Keep up the great work B1M
Always looking forward to the next video B1M will upload.
Okay, when the drones built the rope bridge I lost my shit.
Hugo Desrosiers-Plaisance lmao
Fantastic video as always. This channel influenced my major!
Interesting video as always.
The B1M keeps me happy while in quarantine
I look forward to these every week
Amazing video!
B1M never disappoints 👍
Looks like the #1 construction channel produced an awesome video again
This channel man, this is awesome 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
It is really pleasure to watch your films, one after another, with such useful information, served in such an interesting way. What is more and enjoys a lot, there are no haters here :-)
i enjoy your videos so much. Keep up the good work
00:17 I’ve never thought B1M would include my city in the video. Thanks and love ya 💕 from UB.
Superb as always!
then i probably still woudnt be able to affort a reasonable home.
It's the land that costs most of the money. You can build a house, especially a suburban ones yourself. It doesn't take a lot of money to build those kind of wooden boxes
It's all in the supply & demand.
@@ericcao4829 haven't you warched the video? when alot of thing are automated you probably speak less of supply and and demand wqill probably always remain as we're fucked already. but demand is so high that the folk sellin those boxes crank up the price.. for who doesnt want money?! screw resouces i want money!!
@@samshyam5347 no land is cheap, probable not everywhere and then you are not permitted to build anything on your plot.
@@TheTheiceking Demand actually goes higher up in cities, mainly because that's literally where everybody wants to go. Nobody can keep up with a demand this high. Imagine trying to build a million housing units in 2-5 years; the price goes up instead. Therefore, automation will let production rise, so prices rise less.
The B1M continues to be that guiding light in our new decade of AI prudence. Thank you for improving our respective capacity to unlock new frontiers.
Interesting, as always!
Interesting video. Didn’t realise automation was already so advanced in construction. Also, good narration voice. You should be doing narration on BBC documentaries as well 👌
This is a grt video!!
The content is a must watch.
Another amazing video 😊
Already yesterday I thought "isn't it time for a new B1M video"? :D
Interesting aspect of future construction plans; I guess it's not just about the construction of buildings but also for example road construction. Some commercial truck manufacturers are already testing autonomous trucks for construction sites
The B1M is Inspiration for all civil engineerings
But seriously awesome video guys, keep it up!! This stuff is crazy cool
Top notch video like always.
automation has always been fascinating to me.
Great videos as always, it would be good to see a video solely about REM, where we are with it at the moment and how far it needs to come.
Amazing content and channel guys! 👍🏽..
✊✊✊
Would pre-fab homes fit into this planning? I mean as in the automated construction teams prepare the terrain and foundation as well as electrical and plumbing base connections, then the pre-fab house module is connected to it and you have a house finished and completely functional? Fully automated complex production would be really a marvel if properly done, it will also help in all fields of construction if we had robotic counterparts for the tricky projects.
Thank you for the video B1M, you never cease to make my imagination go from 0 to 1000!
They already exist they depreciate as fast as cars though
I think the whole automation industry needs to shift it's image away from having automation steal jobs and more towards enhancing already existing jobs and increasing productivity. Lower skilled jobs won't disappear in the rise of automation- they'll just change dramatically
Or we can introduce a universal basic income and stop being neo-luddites. Humans are inefficient but creative so let us be creative and let machines take over everything else.
You should read about the digital judge in Estonia to see that even middle and upper class work kan be replaced.
The Brony Wiking Machines will be able to help out on the job site long before they’ll be able to fully automate the job site, so we’re a little ways away from the dream post-scarcity society
Let’s start mining asteroids and automating farms and factories so I can kick it on the beach 😫💦
How will low skill jobs change dramatically?
Can you guys make a video on the 100 smart cities project in India
Make some toilets first
I really think this is the future! I think Volvo is really on to something with their simple implementation. Great documentary!
Automation will be more prevalent in precast/prefabrication industry, skilled manpower will always be required to assemble elements on site.
B1M is awesome I enjoy watching your videos. Please upload videos on weekly basis if possible
Thanks! We've uploaded weekly for 5 years!
Gr8 video as usual !!!
Thanks man! ✊
wow Topcon sounds like a great company! very innovative.
This is High Level Content....Superb
amazing as always
Thank you!! ✊
🤩🤩🤩Amazing as usual. Stay safe in the current situation. 🤗
Awesome video as always
Thank you so much!! 👍👍
Have you ever considered doing a video on the massive redevelopment of North Greenwich in London? I think it would be incredibly interesting.
B1M is therapy💯
1:52 York University in Toronto, Canada., lool. The silver structure is the new (completed Dec 2017) subway station onto campus.
Topcon's equipment is very impressive
You have an amazing Channel
The B1M is so reliable that I can “LIKE” less than 30 seconds into video!
congratulations on 1m subs buddy
I hope that there will be more architects in the future as the automation ease the amount of work needed going into the development and construction, presenting new opportunities for architects to go wilder with designs and making the city skyline vastly more interesting.
B1M has a new video? CLICKS
(and have forever wanted one about the automation aspect!)
Best channel on UA-cam. Guess my civil engineering career will go to trash can.
So cool to see my city in the last shot! Go Warsaw!
Love thinking about the possibilities these technological advances could make common place
Revolutionary stuff! The future just got a little brighter :)
Exceptional quality videos! Keep it up - B1M
Just thinking this about the 2nd ave subway here in NYC. Could help build the train line this decade if it could happen.
Could you guys visualize the role of civil engineers if automation played a more significant role in construction ?
This is an amazing one
Never ever asked this question, glad you answered it
Everyone’s always scared of automation, remember it used to be someone’s job to snuff out street gas lights each day..... jobs change as technology progresses, the trick is to make sure the education system keeps pace.
Doubt the U.S. Education system is going to react early
You're not taking into consideration the fact that people that snuffed out street lamps made up a tiny portion of the US workforce, and their wages weren't anything close to middle class, even for the time, whereas the construction industry makes up a huge portion of the work force, employing nearly 10 million people in the US, and workers can expect $17 to $30/hr based on experience putting them well into upper middle class.
Do you really think our education system has kept up?
unless AGI take over our need and we all have no job, just UBI and enjoy life
I’ve heard of this thing called fully automated luxury communism and it’s similar to what you said, basically we automate everything we can enjoy life. However it’s communism and Americans are brainwashed to think any thing related to communism is bad so it’s not likely to come soon
It was a really great experience for all videos. Thank you for sharing us this project B1M! I would like to buy "B" sticker and I can put it on my laptop ;).
Cool vid. Earned my like
Thank you!! 👍
Nice work
More AI and emerging tech videos pls! This was awesome
I am in love that construction
The only obstruction to automation in construction is cost. Otherwise would have more already. Good well made video
You should make a video about augmented reality in construction
very interesting especially that labor management is one of the greatest challenges in construction. however, I think you can't replace the reactive decision-making aspect that humans have.
They'll never replace humans until AGI exists (Artificial General Intelligence) as those ones would be at or above humans in decision making. All this automation stuff is just going to be the basics.... and likely will remain that way for at least the next few decades or so. If AGI is ever created, construction will probably be the least of our worries as we would then be inside a technological singularity, where our advancements would far out pace our ability to adapt.
This is good. My biggest fest is that Autonomous robots will take over construction jobs which is the scariest thought to me. That’s why I’m happy they would take over job gaps that need filling. Thank you so much. Made my fears go away and strengthened the idea of robots and humans working together.
