    Some of the fatbergs on that prog proved so recalcitrant that after spending £0.5M, they gave up & put a new sewer in.

    Are they robots or remotely operated vehicles? The thing about a robot is the autonomy or forced labour if you are Czech.


    (especially in science fiction) a machine resembling a human being and able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically.
    "the robot closed the door behind us"
    Similar:
    automaton
    android
    machine
    golem
    bot
    droid
    • a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer.

    Yes you proved me wrong Accountants must be licensed to trade in the same way as IFA's are. oh sorry they aren't are they?

    Robots and assistive technology are already looking after people I added links and everything.

    As for robots doing this kind of job, it's been the case for decades so do please try to keep up. I was working for British Gas in the early 90's and we were using this type of technology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigging)

    Seems though that you're not smart enough to understand the difference between this type of activity, and the work required to care for sick and vulnerable individuals. Let's hope you or a loved one never needs this kind of 24/7 care, you'd never cope.

    I hope so.

    But if they are as good as cisbot it will take them two months rather than two weeks to get rid of a fatberg.
