Block-laying robot Hadrian builds first Two-storey house
Oct 28
It was the first time the robotic block-laying approach incorporated steel reinforced concrete columns and a concrete floor slab placed atop the structure’s first storey. The technology, which received a $2 million investment from Caterpillar in 2017, uses a 98-foot robotic arm mounted on a truck to place customised blocks fed up through the arm. Its claw is guided by motion sensors following a digital blueprint, and can auto-correct its position 1,000 times a second. A nozzle on the arm squirts a mortar, also customised.
