Hadrian X masonry robot can build a house in just 4 hours (photos, video)
The Hadrian X paver drives up to the construction site looking like a regular truck, then extends a 32-meter-long boom and begins to precisely lay up to 300 large brick blocks per hour. Fastbrick Robotics has introduced its Hadrian-X system for laying bricks during the construction of a house.
Fastbrick Robotics has unveiled its “next-generation” Hadrian-X system in action, and set a new speed record in its first outdoor test build, demonstrating a sustained speed of over 300 brick blocks per hour during testing and calibration.
Extrapolate this figure to the largest blocks it can handle, which weigh 45 kg and measure 99 x 600 x 400 mm, and you will see a machine capable of building about 8 square meters. m of vertical wall every hour. But FBR is working on making the robot much faster, with a maximum speed of 753 blocks per hour.
The Hadrian X is controlled by a tablet and places the bricks precisely according to the CAD plan. Workers load the brick blocks into the back of the truck using pallets, after which the robotic dehackers unpack them and cut them to size using a circular saw if necessary.
Then they are sent down the middle of the boom one by one on small boats, applied with special construction glue instead of mortar, and laid on the masonry site, where they dry and are securely fixed within 45 minutes.
The Hadrian X telescopic boom is long enough to build three-story structures without ladders. The robot can operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in various weather conditions.
