It is not the only technology with a surprisingly long history. Rail gun projects start from scratch, make good progress, hit snags, fail, and go down the memory hole. Then the next rail gun project starts from scratch...

So I'm intrigued that there is a book https://www.simonandschuster.co.uk/books/SAM/Jonathan-Waldman/9781501140594 documenting the trials and tribulations of one project. Perhaps progress here will be cumulative?

Robots lay STREET brick roads very well. check out some on internet.

not the ones that use cheap chinese humans to sort the bricks into machine

but the fully automated ones


I guess no lawsuits from street municipal brick failures.

its always about the (((lawsuits))) and (((patents)))

Globalists will resist manual labor automation to their dying breath.

They want all skilled jobs automated, in order to deny wages to intelligent people. They want low skill jobs to be manual, so they can lord it over all their 40 IQ semi-feral slaves.

I've layed brick. It's an art. However, it does seem like something that could be automated with robotics, within reasonable limits.
