Robotic Brickwork

When researching construction, you invariably discover that any new or innovative idea has actually been tried over and over again, often stretching back decades.
One of these new-but-actually-old ideas is the idea of a mechanical bricklayer, a machine to automate the construction of masonry walls.
Given that the need for skilled bricklayers and for more homes are both rapidly increasing globally, automating the bricklaying process for faster, mass construction is an obvious answer.
And as the move to construction robots continues to develop, it is likely that BIM will play an ever-increasing and integral role within the construction process as the means of providing construction information to these new technologies.
One thing is for certain - the digital, autonomous era truly has arrived within the construction industry.
With the move to Industry 4.0, robots are starting to appear within the construction industry landscape. And with the labor shortages experienced in all countries, it is no surprise that innovators are turning to robotics to help plug the gap in skilled trades.
The Hadrian X bricklaying robot made headlines in 2016 when it laid 1,000 bricks in an hour. To understand how this compares, human bricklayers can typically lay 300-500 bricks per day, with the record being 914 bricks laid in an hour.

This puts a smile in my face. The assembly of a discrete manifold or a surface. :P
The exploration of gravity linkages is always fascinating. Bricks is one branch of chained links. :3.
Besides, outstanding editing of an incredible research subject.

"Glue" free techniques would be nice as these would allow for automated un-building to be just as easy, fast, cheap, silent, and energy efficient as this automated building. Glue free like in adding in pre-made silicon seals integrated such that no UV light reaches, making these seals durable for centuries and juts as reusable as the bricks. Tensioning rebar is still possible. No need to plaster it in irreversibly.

Самое банальное и заурядное- попытка решения задачи кирпичной кладки "в лоб", с помощью программируемого манипулятора. По-моему, это может сделать даже шимпанзе. У меня есть решение задачи такого строительства оно очень красивое и удобное к применению.
