This revolutionary bricklayer robot can build houses in a day
What's the story
The world's first outdoor-capable bricklayer robot, Hadrian X, has landed in the United States. Developed by FBR (formerly Fastbrick Robotics), this groundbreaking machine is designed to construct the walls of a house within a day. After clearing customs, the next-generation Hadrian X will be transported to a facility in Fort Myers, Florida. The robot boasts a 32-meter telescopic boom arm that outreaches its predecessor and can lay blocks at speeds of up to 500 per hour.
Features
Advanced capabilities to revolutionize construction
Hadrian X's extended reach allows it to construct walls three stories high from the roadside and place blocks within 50mm of existing walls. The machine can lay up to 500 blocks per hour. Unlike traditional methods, Hadrian X doesn't apply mortar between bricks. Instead, it uses a strong construction adhesive to bond the individual bricks once the wall is completed.The robot also utilizes unique optimization software that translates wall sketches into block positions, reducing handling and waste.
Efficiency
Hadrian X's innovative software streamlines homebuilding process
Hadrian X's unique optimization software not only minimizes block handling and waste but also enhances efficiency in residential construction. The software allows every supplier involved in the homebuilding process to work from a single source of data, facilitating parallel manufacture of materials. Before starting a demonstration program in Florida, the machine will undergo an assessment to confirm its readiness for site acceptance testing. This next-generation unit is set to revolutionize the construction industry.
