WORLD, meet your new bricklayer: “Hadrian” the robot.
A robotic, fully-automated machine is being developed in Perth, a world-first
that could raise the brick shell of a new home within two days. It can work 24 hours, 365 days — compared to the human variety who can put in
anywhere from four to six weeks of backbreaking work for a typical home. Local inventor Mark Pivac, founder of Fastbrick Robotics and inventor of the world's first ‘brickbot’, said his
interest in the idea of developing the robot was sparked during Perth’s
bricklaying crisis of 2005. A 28m articulated telescopic boom goes to work and mortar or adhesive is
delivered under pressure to the robotic laying head and applied to the brick
which is then laid in the correct sequence as per the program. The robot
de-hacks, measures, scans for quality and cuts to length the bricks and routs
for electrical and other services.
