'World’s most advanced construction robot' completes factory tests

FBR Limited has successfully completed factory acceptance testing of its upgraded Hadrian bricklaying robot in Western Australia. The Hadrian robot is a mobile system mounted on a cab-over-engine truck, designed for easy transport to construction sites. It demonstrated improved reliability and accuracy by laying over 285 blocks per hour during tests, with a peak capacity of up to 360 blocks per hour. The robot features proprietary software that converts wall designs into precise block placements, reducing material waste, and employs dynamic stabilization technology to maintain accuracy despite movement or outdoor conditions. It can handle blocks weighing up to 99 pounds and reach up to 105 feet, operating efficiently with just two personnel. The Hadrian robot is built to withstand harsh weather, including winds up to 37.3 mph and light rain, using Fastbrick Adhesive for bonding. It is suitable for a variety of construction projects, from residential homes and townhouses to commercial buildings and childcare centers. FBR plans to offer the robot to select construction partners at
