Here in Perth, the company FBR invented the mentioned robot that precisely lays brick by brick, regardless of weather conditions, day and night. Currently, they are testing bricks from Xella. The robot has already completed two bungalows and two single-story commercial buildings ready for occupancy. A two-story house is currently under construction. They are also in negotiations with Wienerberger.
What is your opinion? Do you think something like this will eventually become widespread wherever it is technically (access) feasible?
There are several videos about this on YouTube.

In Beckum, the first house (for us) made with a 3D printer has been completedAnd it really looks very well done – with some curved shapes integrated and an appearance similar to a concrete layered cake. Really stylish. Currently, it costs about 15% more than traditional masonry. So it’s just a matter of time until this becomes an affordable standard. While in Beckum the "printer" was installed directly on site, the larger market is probably in printing prefabricated components and assembling them at the construction site – this saves on setup costs.
Mmh... really cool thing. I’m not so fond of the strong curves, but I’m sure there are other options.
15% more masonry? The question is what you’re comparing it to. Building a cuboid? Or something like the show home with overhangs, balconies, etc.
Often, with traditional masonry alone, you can’t get very far and have to use concrete for certain parts and sections (for structural reasons). Then the price difference might shrink even more (probably with more possibilities!).
