It seems to be on the back of a truck, so it needs a human to get it to where the work needs to be done.

It also needs an operator. It's more a tool extension with motors and whatnot than a robot. But Japanese, so it looks fun.

I'd like the German railway to have some of those. Oh there's a tree on the tracks is quite a frequent excuse for delays
