The windows, doors, plumbing, and electrical systems are then added by a human worker.<\/p>\n<p>When complete, the homes are autonomous and mobile, meaning they don\u2019t need to connect to external electrical and plumbing systems. Solar energy is stored in a battery connected to the houses, and water is collected and filtered from humidity in the air (or you can pour water into the system yourself). The houses also feature an independent sewage system.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/a-robot-can-print-this-32000-house-in-as-little-as-8-hours\/?utm_content=buffer56a77&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer\">https:\/\/futurism.com\/a-robot-can-print-this-32000-house-in-a...ign=buffer<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building a house by hand can be both time-consuming and expensive.
