An apparatus may include a nozzle assembly configured to extrude material
through an outlet; and a controllable robotic arm coupled to the nozzle
assembly, the robotic arm having at one end a gripper configured to pick
up an element and deposit the element at a desired position relative to
the extruded material. The element may be one of: a reinforcement member
for a structure being constructed; a segment of a plumbing pipe; an
electric network component; and a tile.
