Isn't the difference simply robotics/machinary involved? 

In a nutshell, pretty much.

The general idea of manufacturing is to create an independent item using technology and/or innovative procedures.  The general idea of building is to use independent items to create a better/stronger/more capable item through any means really.

Also wouldn't build simply be general term (like it could include mass production/manufacturing/construction), the word I think he wants it construct, or construction.
