Hm. No mortar. No ability to recover from perturbations (animals, children moving blocks; block flaws/cracks; foundation flaws). No apparent feedback at all. Just a movie showing a brick-placement bot '3D printing' part of a building. And a lot of hype - I didn't understand the entire intro, it sounded like hot-air words strung together.
