An Australian firm has revealed the Hadrian X, a giant truck mounted building robot that can lay 1,000 bricks an hour, glueing them into place. It can work 24 hours day, and finish an entire house in just two days. Scroll down for video Mounted on the back of a truck, Hadrian X is simply driven onto a building site, and can put down 1,000 bricks an hour using a 30m boom, allowing it to stay in a single position while it builds. +2 Mounted on the back of a truck, Hadrian X is simply driven onto a building site, and can put down 1,000 bricks an hour using a 30m boom, allowing it to stay in a single position while it builds.

CEO Mike Pivac said:'We are a frontier company, and we are one step closer to bringing fully automated, end to end 3D printing brick construction into mainstream. The bricks travel along the boom and are gripped by a clawlike device that lays them out methodically, directed by a laser guiding system. Mortar or adhesive is also deliver under pressure to the hand of the arm and applied to the brick, so no external human element is required. We're very excited to take the world first technology we proved with the Hadrian 105 demonstrator and manufacturing a state of the art machine. Instead of traditional cement, Hadrian X will use a construction glue. 'By utilising a construction adhesive rather that traditional mortar, the Hadrian X will maximise the speed of the build and strength and thermal effeciency of the final structure,' the firm said. The Hadrian X can handle different sized bricks, and also cuts, grinds and mills each brick to fit. The company describes the robots as '3D automated robotic bricklaying technology.'

Looks like it still in beta, and the cost of renting it and an operating crew would probably be many times more than just hiring a couple of masons and mud mixers.
