It’s real. That company has been making these for like 5-10 year now. I have seen other footage. I believe this is also the same company that makes the robot police dogs, too.

Yeah I've seen other BD footage too and belived it was real. This one has that CGI feeling. The guy up top not flinching at all when the thing is thrown at him doesn't help either.
I imagine them being broken down on the job site while the $150 an hour manufacturer's technician takes his time getting to the job site to see why it's broke.
Not at this point it isn't. Not to mention these robots have yet to be put to a real test of working 6 months on a sometimes dusty, sometimes rainy job site. Plus I wouldn't use that robot within 20 miles of the coast, otherwise the salty air will have it's way with all those intricate components.
Years ago I worked at a factory that made vinegar. You talk about corrosive! That stuff will eat through Anything! They had to replace the air conditioners every year, sometimes twice a year. Robots would not last long in that environment!
With the push for minimalism in this level of robotics, I’m willing to bet the mechanics itself will soon become very reliable. I think the robotics itself is practically mastered, it’s just the electronics they’re working on now.
I'd be willing to bet that secret government institutions (underground, etc) are protected by autonomous weaponized means. Whether those be stationary things like turrets, or actual mobile robots.
