Patlabor is a work of fiction.

But in ten years, who knows?

Until someone builds a robot that can actually lift one leg in front of the other, and a way to control it that an average Joe with high school education can learn, it's gonna be a long time.

Besides, the real question is, why would you need a Labor on a construction site? Buildings are built on flat ground, the only reason you would need the legs is to navigate rough terrain (which the construction equipment would clear out and flatten first anyways). An argument could be made for the arms, but cranes and backhoes can already do that stuff just fine.

Maybe it would be a better idea to build a sort of robot torso with arms that is an attachment for an excavator that replaces the bucket?

Then you could get a pair of arms into all sorts of weird places.

how about adding legs as another attachment to get into even weirder places
and then legs becomes the norm because hopefully by that point the technology is enough and also because we're too lazy to keep swapping parts
