This study focuses on the challenges and opportunities of integrating industrial robots into robotic bricklaying systems (RBSs) for automation and digital transformation in the construction industry. A mobile RBS was designed, engineered, manufactured and commercially implemented for the first time in Poland. The RBS is designed to perform robotic bricklaying in situ in municipal, residential, and industrial buildings, where sustainable construction tasks are implemented. The details of the design solutions for the RBS, virtual simulation, and real robotic bricklaying processes are presented. The results of bricklaying using the RBS and the factors that influence the robotic bricklaying process are summarized. A 3D digital building information model (BIM) created using Autodesk Revit tools was used for simulated robotic bricklaying in the ABB RobotStudio 2025.5 program, from which they were transferred to the programming of the ABB IRB 4600 bricklaying robot. The laser programming method for the bricklaying robot, bricklaying procedures, and algorithms are also presented. The costs of human labor and robot construction were compared, and the return on investment (ROI) was calculated. RBS evaluations were performed in laboratory settings, on-site demonstrations, and commercial wall-laying in residential apartments.
