This bricklaying robot could build 100 to 300 homes a year
The Hadrian X bricklaying robot made by Fastbrick Robotics has broken its own speed record, laying 200 bricks in just one hour. We compare the Hadrian X with the first commercially available bricklaying robot, the SAM100, made by Construction Robotics.

I’m not that sold on this product. A main issue with building is the costs of having a truck close down the road or interrupt traffic. It costs a lot for the permits and in some areas you cannot do it except for certain times during the week like casting the slab at night during a weekend that being said the people operating this machine will cost more than the workers who would do its job i worked in construction as a mechanical engineer for around 2 years and know that on average a masonry does around 400-600 blocks a day and this machine isn’t feasible for construction for a sky scraper for example there are safety risks bringing heavy equipment to these altitudes and regulations to follow which depend on the country or province in dubai for example the cement mixers aren’t allowed after certain heights and cement has to be mixed on the ground floor and be brought up and those cost a lot of money.

Bull crap reason. Automation will result in less human workers. Look at the automotive industry as a historical lesson. Jobless percentages will increase in number. Tech is good but use it in building colonies on the moon.

As much as I love technology, I think it’s at least partially deceptive to say that this is meant to protect workers. When construction companies start adopting these robots en masse the workers will be “protected” from repetitive stress injury by the simple fact that many of them will be laid off. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t invest in new technologies, but that we need to come up with ways to transition those workers into new jobs through training and education. It is impossible to prevent the rise of new technologies from changing the labor market, but we cannot be blind to the real impact of said technologies on the livelihood of so many people.

If we had avoided creating computers with the fear of them replacing hundreds of human calculators or not knowing what to do with those human calculators, America woundn’t be the great power it is in the technology industry. Jobs will be created but we can’t predict them easily.

Adi Vemireddy It is not a matter of avoiding creating new technologies out of fear, but of being aware of their predictable impact on society and taking measures to safeguard the livelihoods of people. Not everyone is in a position to become a programmer, an engineer or to otherwise take part in the digital economy being born today. However, everyone has a right to work and to not be tossed aside when a new technology comes along. It imperative that we have technologies that are more efficient, that can build houses quicker for out expanding populations. We need AI that can help farm more effectively and distribute food with less waste. We also need to be aware that people’s lives will be disrupted and there needs be a plan so they don’t go hungry as we re-engineering our society.

Just what we need, more robots/machines to take away jobs. They say humans are clever, but I find it hard to believe this when we design robots/machines to take away jobs and people’s livelihoods.

You should want better for your kids than you had. How about encouraging your kids to pursue higher education, maybe an MBA and then own the brick laying company, that uses these robots.

prefab custom parts will be assembled by a gantry under a weather tent. bricks are too small of a component to assemble efficiently. entire wall segments, instead, with the ability to remove walls by unpinning them from supports, rather than now-you’re-stuck-with-it bricks, so that remodeling only takes two days. oh, and we’ll move to floating islands, because you can pick the government you want; so, everyone there is in support of it. the core city will be built all at once, tacking-on expansions only as needed. no bricks, sorry.

Here’s a theory. I think it’s very possible that with the extreme replacement of human labor via autonomous tech will come a situation of needing to enforce a wage loss fee/ tax targeting the companies using robots to replace human roles, as a way to protect the economy and help the lower class survive. Even with some expense for using a robot it will still save the company tons in the all areas of efficiency and give lower total operating costs for facilities(no bathrooms, no lights, no heat, and most importantly no law suits). Although with still no means of income in for the replaced workers that funding will then need to go to the citizens who are unqualified to work anymore in order to keep the public majority from literally turning the country into chaos. So that stimulus check was weird right almost felt like an allowance? Well it will be just like that or maybe the pandemic unemployment where everyone gets about the same per week. Essentially there will be a Nonworking class where you don’t need to work and you have a fixed level of wealth that you will obtain over your lifetime but live comfortably and worry-free, and then the working class for those who decide to pursue success and greater wealth beyond what is determined as fit by the gov. That working class will have it’s own society consisting of things unimaginable to the lower class just like how it is currently, except Substantially less suffering as everybody will have the necessities to be happy.
