I wonder how this compares with just 3D printing in concrete, like Icon. It seems a little bit like putting a round peg into a square hole to have a robot fastidiously recreate a building technique designed around humans, whereas doing it in a way optimized for robots can be easier and more flexible. Kinda how roombas don't vacuum like a human.

Kind of like how Icon forces 3D printing onto the problem when re-usable concrete forms have ben used to build concrete structures for decades?

I remember I bought a roomba (first model years ago), and it didn't vacuum at all. it was basically for picking up crumbs from (some of the) the kitchen floor.
