Robot bricklayer

There are several articles about a bricklaying robot that can build a house in two days. This particular one is from Engadet.

I was picturing smaller bricks than what the machine is apparently laying. The ones I was thinking about were maybe 3x4x6 or so.


I liked the comment "Now that's a 3D printer!".

I can't see how they could get any precision out of something on a long boom.

They say it "slathers" the mortar. Nothing about cleaning up the joint, I wonder if the machine needs helpers.

They have helper robots to clean off the excess mortar.

Much easier to use illegal alien labor. Just go to home depot and take home a few in your pickup truck.

Pay 'em $100, a few beers, and you're good to go.

you, sir, are precisely the reason why we have an illegal alien problem!
