Hadrian Lays 1000 Bricks an Hour

Jul-02-15 The Hadrian bricklaying robot is able to lay out the bricks for a home in just two days, reducing the waste and pollution associated with home building while also increasing safety.

Created by Fastbrick Robotics, the Hadrian features a large, articulated telescopic boom that uses information from a 3D CAD representation of the structure to place each brick. The adhesives for the bricks are sent under pressure to the head of the boom, and the boom itself is able to auto-correct up to 1000 times per second to correct for sway. According to the team, the device can reduce the construction time of a home by about six weeks.

CEO Mike Pivac also hopes that rather than take jobs from bricklayers, the robotic appeal of the Hadrian could attract a new crop of younger bricklayers to the quickly dwindling pool of aging professionals.
