IN BRIEF
The Hadrian X is a prototype robot that can automate all of the brick laying process. Laying around 1000 standard bricks an hour, the robot has the ability to create houses at a rate that previous ages only dreamed of.
While it has long been expected that 3D printing will revolutionize the construction industry, companies are looking at a host of other technologies that will allow us to build the homes of the future…technologies that could help us build houses at next to no cost and in record time.

One of those technologies is robots, and one of the most promising robots is the Hadrian X, an Australian robotic bricklayer.

Unlike other construction types, brick structures still mostly rely on people laying bricks one-by-one. Obviously, that is a laborious process, and it generally takes days to complete. But the Hadrian X can lay 1,000 standard bricks in just one hour from a 30 meter boom.
It works just like a 3D printer, using robot arms to take and place bricks precisely where they’re needed. That actually means you don’t have to use as much mortar material, since the bricks are layered to a snug fit.
The company that built the robot, Australia-based Fastbrick Robotics, has already landed a deal to demonstrate their technology.
They partnered with Archistruct Builders and Designers in the construction of 11 homes, each with an area of at least 180 square meters, and have at least three bedrooms and two bathrooms. That may be rather small in size, but it could mean safe housing for the estimated 100 million people worldwide who are homeless.

Poor bricklayers will be sweating over their job security. Sweating like a one-armed bricklayer in Baghdad

Surely the brick building business would be good in Baghdad, with all the bombed buildings that need rebuilding

awesome. no more fucking Mexicans.

Can it actually build a wall? Cause I'm not seeing a wall being built, just a stack of bricks.

Basic income fucking when? I went to a clinic a few weeks ago and there were so many people employed doing shit whereas one computer could replace them all and not only be cheaper but more efficient as well. Let these people out and give them money to live so we can stop making things more inconvenient to everyone.

welfare state
you can't spend 50 years telling people their only value is their jobs and then not have jobs for them

if you reprogramed it I don't see why not.

Sure you can. You just tell them to believe something else now. If they refuse, just wait for them to die off and teach the new value system to the next generation.

Classic this came from Aussie

And what do you do with it when the bricks are in place? Take it apart again and re-do it with cement?
>>
>>92034
The bricks have mortar/glue placed on each brick if you read the the article or watched the videos you would know that anon.
>>
>>92041
I dunno about abbo housing but we put cement between the bricks. See those gaps?
>>
>>92042
that is a prototype once they test it some more the gaps will be gone.
