Bricklaying Robotic Arm Aims to Build 10 Houses This Year
24th January 2019
Robots are capable of building all kinds of structures, but it’s usually in service of research. As cool as a spiky plastic pavilion looks, it’s not exactly livable.
Australian company FBR is taking a different tack. It’s spent the last few years working on a robot called Hadrian X that will make bricklaying easier and faster. The robot is mounted to the back of a truck, where its 100-foot arm is able to grab bricks and lay them in a precise arrangement.
