Robotics tech company FastBrick (FBR) has finished building the structural walls for its first display home in Dayton, Western Australia.
Bricks… fast
The Hadrian X robotic bricklayer was deployed on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 7, and completed the home’s walls in three-and-a-half days.
The company estimates building times will be reduced by a further 25 per cent with the incorporation of larger blocks — namely, the company’s proprietary F-Block, or other larger bricks.
FBR CEO, Mike Pivac, says it’s a huge step in proving the efficiency and value of the company’s tech.
“Digital construction has taken a significant step forward with the completion of this structure using the Hadrian X, the world’s first and only mobile autonomous bricklaying robot,” he said.
“FBR is proudly at the forefront of construction robotics globally. We expect this first display home build will attract significant interest globally,” he added.
Next steps
The company will incorporate the data from this first build to refine the performance of Hadrian X and recalibrate the robot to handle the larger blocks.
The speed and quality of the build (pictured below) is what makes the system unique as a potentially significant disruptor in the construction space.
Mark says “finishing ahead of schedule for [the] first build on a residential site is a pleasing result” for FastBrick.
The home will be completed by FBR partner, Archistruct Builders & Designers, over the coming months.
Once completed, FBR will open the home to both the public and potential collaborators, suppliers and customers from local and international markets.
FastBrick is trading 3.4 per cent lower today at 8.6 cents per share as at 11:10 am AEST.
