Engineers of the Australian company FBR have created a robotic stonemason Hadrian X, which demonstrates amazing labor productivity. a 32-meter-long device, but able to build a residential building in only two days. Currently, the robot is moving from Australia to Florida, where it will be engaged in the construction of a housing estate with 10 houses.
The bricklayer robot consists of two parts: a truck, where the bricks are located, and a manipulator-stacker Hadrian X. Its productivity is 500 bricks per hour. Bricks are fed through a special chute, covered with a special glue that replaces traditional mortar, after which the manipulator installs them in a wall that can reach three floors in height. The developers claim that the robot can work around the clock.
Before the construction of 10 houses, the robotic mason will undergo test trials at a site in Fort Meyers, Florida. If the tests are successful, the FBR company may receive a large contract for the supply of 300 Hadrian X robots to the United States.
