About this episode
This week, we were on-site speaking with Fernando Bales, build lab manager for Citizen Robotics in Detroit, Michigan. Citizen Robotics is a non-profit working to reduce the cost – both in labor hours and in dollars – of building new homes through the use of robotics.Beyond that, they’re also focused on education and access – something you all know we’re always on board for at Supplyframe.
