This is a good companion piece to read about how welding is completely changing:

I'm guessing that this robot takes advantage of the efficiencies of laser-based welding.

The crazy thing is that this innovation wouldn't have come to market nearly as fast without SpaceX and Elon Musk.

⚡️🤖🇰🇷 NEW - South Korea just built a welding robot that doesn’t need scaffolding.

This is the Diden Spider, a four-legged machine with magnetic feet that can walk across steel floors, climb vertical walls, and stick to ceilings.

It carries up to 30 kg, squeezes through tight shipyard spaces, and welds where people used to need ladders, harnesses, and a lot of risk.

Shipyards in Korea are already putting it to work.

One more tough, dangerous job that machines are starting to take over.
