Can’t say that it is more efficient than a practised brick layer, and it seems that two men have to accompany it. And what about setting up and clearing away?

Agreed. That is a lot of machine to cart from jobsite to jobsite and set up. The men still have to physically handle every brick and all of the mud. About the only minor advantage that I can see is the consistency of the bricklaying but any Brickey worth his salt can achieve that blind folded. And We didn't even mention the potential quantity of wasted mud with this process.
