&quot;In this human-robot team, the robot is responsible for the more rote tasks: picking up bricks, applying mortar, and placing them in their designated location. A human handles the more nuanced activities, like setting up the worksite, laying bricks in tricky areas, such as corners, and handling aesthetic details, like cleaning up excess mortar.&quot;<p>&quot;One human plus one SAM equals the productivity of having four or more masons on the job.&quot;<p>A downside I can see is there isn&#x27;t really any room for apprentices or entry level workers in this model. I imagine with four human masons a couple of them could be learning the trade as they did &quot;the robot&#x27;s part,&quot; eventually developing the skills to be the &quot;human&quot; in the team.
