Well, yeah, except relatively few houses in the U.S. are built
of bricks. Most of them are built of sticks and maybe veneered
with bricks.

My house is a little unusual. It is built of bricks, and is
veneered with stone.

Yes. The robot can be modified to also lay block. Here in the
desert, brick would be awful expensive. My home is stick built and
stucco with a bit of brick veneer in front.

Forgot the video that mentions bricks & blocks; plus it shows
placement of header lintel beams above doors, and windows.
Uses adhesive vs mortar.
