Why won't the robot go through the pipe and join it from the inside?

It would cost more for the plumber to set up/put a robot in the pipe than to just do the work

There wouldn't be a human, plumber or otherwise, involved. My point is that a robot plumber does not have to do a job the same way as a human one, thus eliminating or simplifying complicated procedures. Also I think your cost comparison is based on how you think the job would be done with today's technology, not how it would be done with the future's.
