That’s 5 / minute (as another commenter pointed out) or 1 every 12 seconds. If a human bricklayer worked that slow, my guess is they’d be fired

That’s true, but only because the human bricklayer has to be paid for their work. As long as the robot’s output outweighs its initial cost and recurring maintenance, it’s likely still profitable even if it could only lay 100 bricks an hour. Especially if multiple robots can work in tandem.

Not if they worked 24/7 and didn’t ask for health benefits or retirement.
