Thanks to its impressive length, the arm is able to build structures that are three stories tall. Plus, because it\u2019s a robot, it never needs to sleep or take a break if the weather turns nasty, so it can chug along pretty much 24\/7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A robotic truck equipped with a 105-ft (32-m) telescopic boom arm has just journeyed from Australia to Florida.
