Ser or Estar for Permanent Location

Question

Hey! I know for temporary location you use estar over ser. But what about permanent location? For example, how would you say the robot is in the factory, if the robot is always in the factory, never-moving?

Answer 2

Estar for the location of everything except events, for that you use ser. That's why the temporary / permanent rule for estar / ser is not a good one.
