Dutch startup Monumental thinks it has a solution: AI-powered bricklayingrobotscapable of working autonomously alongside humans.
They are small and nimble enough to go anywhere a person can.
Bricklaying is a tough job.

Its brutal on the back and knees, and doesnt pay very well.
So its perhaps no surprise that theres a scarcity of young workers in Europe lining up to apply.
The startup also looks to train its robots to take on new, more complex tasks.
