No subtasks have robot-ready solutions yet.
Still Crew-Led

Live demand, but no vendor ships a membrane roll-out or positioning system.
Crew-Led
Roof Deck Preparation
Hidden conditions during tear-off require real-time judgment no machine handles.
Crew-Led
Roof Penetration Sealing
Geometrically unique seals at trade-dependent locations; nothing in development.
Crew-Led
Seam Welding/Seaming
Closest to automatable, but no vendor ships a parameter-adapting welder yet.

What's different about buying a robot
Four checks before you shortlist a robot below.
Name one owner
Usually a roofing foreman. That person can say in one line what the robot does, what it doesn't, and why it's on the job.
Evidence beats claims
Repeat customers and published deployments matter. So does seeing it run on a site like yours, not in a vendor video.
Respect the workflow
Every robot has non-negotiable inputs and a window where it fits. When prep slips or sequencing isn't planned, the robot fails. Either the workflow change is real, or the robot isn't.
Ask what it can't do
Every robot has trade-offs. The vendors worth your time walk you through the whole picture of where it wins and struggles.
