Looks like a complete waste of technology to me. Slower than a human installer, with no possibility of being able to complete the flooring install.

Yep, just because you can do something does not mean that you should do it. A good crew of installers would be very much faster.

Maybe for a huge installation to do the center part. But for sure not when cuts are needed.

Notice that it can’t complete the row at the end because it requires a shorter piece of tile, which requires a cut being made. It also seemed to require a “starter piece” at the beginning of the row for some reason. Compare this contraption, which requires a crane to get it up a flight of stairs, to a family crew from around my neck of the woods, would be laughable. Echoing the above comments, “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”
