I recently found out about the architectural work of Gramazio & Kohler who use industrial robots to build highly patterned brick walls.
. 
I’m very intrigued by the possibility of creating highly complex, repeating, organic constructions by harnessing the high-precision capabilities of robotic construction.
This is an obvious and natural continuation of the democratizing of precision that began with machine tools, and has grown rapidly with advances in CAD/CAM/CNC and rapid prototyping.
I’ve been told that the industrial robots Gramazio & Kohler use were original used in car manufacturing, but have been replaced by more advanced models. These and other types of industrial robots are going to be increasingly available for use by artists … so start thinking about what you would do if you had one of these in your studio/shop.
