Probably not. But they will come pretty close.

That would be a good way to ensure 6ft distancing on construction sites

I think the main reason this wouldn’t fully work isn’t because robots couldn’t do the same jobs as humans, they are much MUCH more costly to reconfigure for flexible tasks. Think about shipbuilding as an example. It’s all extremely planned out, and mostly using pre-fabrication technology but welding, assembly and fitting out are things that mobile, flexible (task wise) and relatively inexpensive human labor are far more suitable for than trying to retool a line to build a different ship. Even small changes to the plan, which are headaches for humans, are massively costly for machine building.
It’s sort of sad to say but machines aren’t cost effective compared to humans.
On a more esoteric note, I think we as a people need to step way back here and ask some important questions:
Why are trying to remove workers from the workforce as population is still increasing? I know the argument is that those people welding ships will all become highly paid computer programmer or something but I think we all know deep down that’s not true.
Who benefits from automation? It’s more wealth transfer to the top at the expense of the lower classes.
People, both on the individual and societal level NEED work emotionally and spiritually. I just don’t know if this is a net benefit for humanity.

100% this. Too much automation is not a good idea, at some point you will have too many programmers and the need for skilled labor will disappear, in turn increasing the cost.

UBI and unlimited vacation. It’s very utopia but eventually I see all labor eliminated through the use of very advanced robots. I think there is a distinct possibility that my hellspawn will be the last fully employed generation. Maybe grandkids but not much longer after that.
Money will lose value and you’ll basically just do whatever you want because you want to.

Hell, with 20+% unemployment, the last fully employed generation may have already happened.

The answer to “why are we trying to remove workers” is answered by the second sentence in your paragraph directly below. W ealth consolidation, something that can be defined by most socio-economic policies of the past 40 or so years. Unless something changes, it’s probably not going to end well. At best, it will be UBI and universal quality of life factors, although I wouldn’t hold my breath on those in the land of TEM syndrome.

Like all parts of industrialization, youre going to see greater automation. Full replacement is a long time away, but there is a huge numbers lost with 10% efficiency chipping away at a time.
If you ever see that show golddiggers a lot of that earth moving jobs are monoton
ous repeatative movements, with the human the weakest link. If you could run 24hrs a day. that would be a huge advantage.
