The Australian company promoting the brick- and block-laying robot Hadrian X has entered a series of agreements with housebuilders in Australia and Mexico with a view to getting demonstration homes built.
Fastbrick Australia, a joint venture between Hadrian X inventor Fastbrick Robotics (FBR Ltd) and Australian building supplies company Brickworks Building Products, hopes the agreements will get traction for its “Wall-as-a-Service” concept in the two countries’ sizeable home-building markets.

FBR's Hadrian X robots can build multi-room structures from 3D CAD models with no human intervention. In addition to new contracts with Australian and Mexican entities, the company has also inked deals with builders and fabricators in Saudi Arabia and Austria, among others.
A recent test using one of the Hadrian X robots, according to the FBR blog, built a three-bedroom, two-bathroom "full home structure" made up of 2,420 "Hadrian-optimised blocks" that generated only 5.5 blocks' worth of waste, or roughly 0.2% of the overall total.

What about the mortar? I know this is a test, but that is a big one to solve.
Same silly story. Nothing new or revolutionary.
because human labor is scare and expensive ...
maybe if we put the crane on a bunch of drones... would that solve the problem?
Man ain't meant to work

So we can sleep and make love deeper
Later we can dance and we can drink!
This is really a good information for those people who are worried of searching building maker or human labour.This is too good because fastbrick Robotics (FBR) Hadrian X robots can build multi-room structures from 3D CAD models with no human intervention ,a three-bedroom, two-bathroom "full home structure" made up of 2,420 "Hadrian-optimised blocks". By using this robots ,we can save our money as well as time.
