Robotic bricklayer emphasizes risk of technological unemployment
Fastbrick Robotics is developing a fully-automated robot to speed the process of bricklaying. The robot is guided by 3D computer-aided design and will lay up to 1,000 bricks an hour putting significant pressure on those currently employed in bricklaying. 

Jason Merrett, of Melbourne-based Balwyn and District Bricklaying, admitted while it may be possible for robots to replace the jobs done by bricklayers, it would be challenging because “every job is different”.
