World’s Most Advanced Construction Robot Lays Bricks at Record Speed

FBR Limited‘s next-generation construction robot, Hadrian, has completed factory tests with a capacity to place 360 bricks per hour. The robot aims to shorten construction time and reduce waste.

The next-generation bricklaying robot named Hadrian, developed in Australia, successfully completed its factory acceptance tests conducted by FBR Limited. During the tests held at the company’s facility in Western Australia, the robot demonstrated increased precision and reliability. In the testing process, Hadrian placed over 285 bricks per hour, building a structure consisting of 751 bricks in total. The system can lay 360 bricks per hour at its highest efficiency.

According to FBR’s statement, one of the most remarkable aspects of the Hadrian system is its mobile design. The robot is designed as a mobile system integrated into a conventional truck. This allows it to be easily transported to construction sites, minimizing the setup time.

Robots Will Lay the Walls, Too

Hadrian‘s placement process is entirely autonomous. The robot’s specialized software directly converts architectural wall designs into a brick placement plan, reducing material waste. Furthermore, the dynamic stabilization technology in the system instantly corrects vibrations and movements, allowing for millimetric accuracy in laying even in outdoor environments.

Technically, Hadrian has a 32-meter reach and can lift bricks weighing up to 45 kilograms. The largest brick size the robot can place is 600 x 400 x 300 millimeters. Thus, traditional bricks can also be used with the robot. Moreover, the robot can operate in winds of up to 60 km/h and in light rain conditions. Fastbrick Adhesive, developed by the company, is used as the bonding agent between the bricks.

FBR states that Hadrian can be used in residential, multi-unit, and commercial projects. The company announced that the robot will be offered to selected construction partners for a price of $50.8 million. FBR Limited emphasizes that this robot holds the title of “world’s most advanced construction robot” and will increase efficiency, reduce waste, and accelerate projects with mechanical precision in the construction industry.
