Autonomous Construction

 As a concept, robotic construction makes a lot of sense, especially if an autonomous control system controls existing equipment optimized and proven for the task. This example by Build Robotics is worth considering when designing construction technologies for other planets. A swarm architecture might be more resilient, but it implies that we can deliver a lot of heavy cargo to the Moon or Mars. Maybe we can.
