The image is a bit misleading. That is not an automated bricklayer, it's just a bit more ergonomic way for human workers to lay bricks.

Seems automated from the article.

Edit: As mentioned below, reading is fundamental, I should learn to do it sometime.


Well, from the same article: »All a worker as (sic) to do is load the bricks into the machine in the desired pattern and gravity does the hard work«

So it is a more ergonomic way of laying bricks; you're doing it upright, not crouched down. But you still have to lay them. You can't just throw a pile of bricks into it and get a road out without workers doing anything.
