It's a good start, but strikes me as "too orderly and confined."  We need a swarm of AI-powered Super Atlas style robots to go through rough mounds of debris without all that hauling and preparation.

An AI conveyor belt, or a swarm of drones picking up everything and separating it.

Atlas looks to be capable. Just needs a Vulcan mind meld to get the specialized smarts, then put his a## to work.  Enough with the parkour playtime!
