Before posting the video I tried to find answers to the questions that you're asking but I couldn't find any extra information. Should anyone know more about this documentary then please add this information by posting a comment. Thanks.

This is an old scenario. I'm not saying it's utter BS, but at this point it's proly just another one of NASA's theoretical models. Having said that. We're alot closer to being able to actually do this now. I think the original idea is related to what VonNeuman thought up..50-60 years ago?
When is it coming out? Technically we have the technology to do this today. However with building, programming and testing. We're at least 5 years away from a...experimental model of several autonomous machines working together properly in an extremely hostile environment with little or no human intervention. Tack on another 5 years, at least, to make this into a viable project which will perform the claims made on the Moon. As a limited experiment.
Sadly, doing this on Mars is still a long way away. Even though it's 'friendlier' than the Moon, to both machines and humans.
Realistically, even with the rapid advance of Tech that we all enjoy, automatic robotic construction of viable human habitats on any planet or moon is still 20 or more years away. But I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong ;)
