Meet the robotic masonry machine that is changing the game in the construction industry
If you think robots are just for factory assembly lines, think again. We present the Hadrian, world's first robotic masonry machine, an innovative feat of Australian technology by FBR Limited. Equipped with special software and customized blocks, this machine can build a house with four bedrooms and two bathrooms in just over a day.
Laying bricks and concrete blocks has always been a task for human hands. However, the Hadrian is bringing the robotic efficiency for this ancient practice. Its mobility is impressive, and it can be transported from one construction site to another with ease, whether by truck, boat or train.
Technology behind the machine
This robotic wonder operates through exclusive software that translates 3D CAD designs into physical coordinates for placing blocks. O Hadrian it also has a dynamic stabilization system to correct external influences such as wind and vibration, ensuring work precision.

Speed and precision
Hadrian X didn't come to play. With a placement speed of 1 block every 20 to 30 seconds, the machine can place more than 1.000 blocks per hour.
It's not just Hadrian X's mechanisms that are innovative, but also the blocks used. They are larger and lighter than conventional blocks, with superior thermal and insulating properties. Furthermore, they are held together by an adhesive mortar that dries in just 45 minutes.
Social and economic impacts
This technology not only speeds up construction time, it also makes work environments safer and more environmentally friendly, and even has the potential to reduce construction costs.
FBR Limited is already using Hadrian X on a 16 townhouse project in Willagee, Western Australia. During construction, the machine set a new record, lifting a wall 9,2 meters high.
