Subject: Robots to help build homes.
Robots that can lay six titles as many bricks a day as human builders are set to turn the construction industry on its head. New York-based firm Construction Robotics has developed a robot called SAM (short for Semi-automated Mason), which can lay 3,000 bricks a day. That`s significantly more than most human builders, who can lay an overage of 500 bricks a day. The devices have started replacing humans on some sites in US. While SAM has the ability to pick up bricks, apply mortar and lay them, the robot needs to be heavily supervised.
Australian company Fast brick robotics has also developed a proof of concept for a commercial bricklaying machine called Hardian X. From the computer-aided design of a house structure, the Hadrian X robotic bricklayer will be able to handle the automatic loading, cutting, routing and placement of all bricks to build a complete structure. Delivery of the first commercial prototype of Hardrian X is due later this year. Sunder Thadani. 20170328.
