In this first episode the Humanarium podcast takes you to meet Alexander from the start-up Woodstock Robotics, a growing and ambitious business in Denmark that is helping the wood building industry build houses the same way Ikea helps us all build their furniture. Woodstock will ship you a house neatly stacked in a flat-pack, cut in the right sizes, ready to unwrap and build from a step by step manual. The Woodstock fusion of computer automation, robot power and carpenter knowledge is already helping business build faster, recycle more and reduce waste substantially. And just as important, as Alexander says, with help from the robots: "We leave the creative and fun bit to the humans."
