looking around online, yes there are robots. very very expensive looking robots like the Hadrian X and SAM100, both for stacking brick walls. but who is building full buildings with 100% brick these days*? we probably got more productivity gains when we stopped digging dirt manually.

My guess is that any tech like this coming out now is at the far right end of an S curve and the real gains are to be made politically and socially, though i doubt it's a regulation issue like the quote.

*turns out its australians.
