Wheelbuilding / Wheel Building / Wheel build help

Surely someone needs initially lace the wheel then the robot trues it laterally / radially and tensions it properly?

Apparently there are lacing robots too, although I couldn't find youtubes of all of the stages of lacing. J-bends with interlaced crossings must be hard to automate, and there are still plenty of cheap labourers (the bike radar article mentions prisoners and the continental equivalent of Remploy). Straight pull would be much easier.
