I believe things like this are a breakthrough to making building robots cheaper and easier, without requiring heavy and high precision parts and manufacturing. Build robot out of wood, if wood gets wet and warps, the AI model just retrains and adapts. This will make easier to exploit comrade robot!

I'd be curious if there are efforts or considerations about automation and a type of "techno-communism". But something that is actually achievable in a small country or a large (distributed) community. A kind of planned economy that can be bootstrapped using relatively cheap technology including IT, software and robotics. To achieve a more sustainable and mostly circular local economy covering all the basic human needs. Like a crowdfunded research and development project to create a "bottom up" communism.
