I am looking for solutions to automate the process of brick laying in refractory kilns, because it is physically a very challenging work for masons and the other workers.
The problems are to create a safe collaborative environment for the robot or automaton and the mason, the needed adaptivity of the robot for handling the bricks as well as the robustness and ease-to-use at the construction sites.
I don't have any expertise in this area, I just read about "Fastbrick Robotics" on a German IT news web site (cf. attached links).
Maybe this is interesting for you, as they seem to have experience in automated building construction.

I know of a number of systems in the Netherlands were part of the brick-laying (for road construction) is mechanised, to lower the required physical effort. These are for example pre-sorting and ordering the bricks in the factory, followed by mechanised placement at the floor, or using a working table to lay bricks in a pattern, which are then transferred to road level. However, Í've no clue if and to what extend this might be beneficial to you, as your appliciation field does seem to differ quite a bit from that.
Hallo Jürgen,
ich habe nur einen Mitarbeiter, der in der Modellierung etwas machen könnte.
Grüße
