Robot builds a house in 2 days

Engineers at the city of Perth say they have successfully built a construction machine that can complete a brickwork of a home in just two days, thanks to a 20-fold higher productivity. a bricklayer.

Australia built a masonry robot to build a house in just two days

Named Hadrian , the robot is capable of placing 1,000 bricks per hour with extremely high accuracy, which means it can build about 150 homes a year.

In terms of design, Hadrian possesses a 28-meter long arm, which is also the most important. The test version of the robot is attached to the body of a excavator, but experts say that when completed, the robot arm will fit into the truck model, allowing it to move more easily and flexibly.

How the machine works is as follows: Hadrian started working using computers to design and make drawings (CAD), to accurately determine the position of all the bricks in a single structure. regulations. Then, the device cut each brick and handed it to the 'hand' to put down, according to an automatic mechanism. Each brick is bonded together by mortar.

Engineer Marc Pivac, who spent more than a decade researching and developing the system, said his product would reduce the amount of waste generated by each building, thereby reducing emissions. into the environment. He also hopes to reduce some of the current work pressure of the bricklayers.
