Why does the robot have to handle all the "edge cases"???
That seems really stupid to think that the robot must be able to build the whole thing or it's useless.
Just have robots put up large, long, straight walls. Have a separate one for curves, or a special one that only handles corners etc...
Or have a robot that just preps the brick with correct amount mortar and hands the brick to the human for placement, maybe there is an aligning contraption (doesn't have to be a robot)...
