Australian company FBR, formerly Fastbrick Robotics, has announced the re-release of its next-generation brick-laying robot, the Hadrian X.

According to its developers, the Hadrian X, which has been in development since 2015, now features both improved speed and agility.

During recent outdoor trials of the robot, with its telescopic arm that reaches three stories high, autonomously placed 500 large bricks — each measuring 23.6 inches x 15.7 inches x 11.8 inches and weighing roughly 100 lbs — an hour into a design in CAD format.

Further, Hadrian X can autonomously cut the bricks to fit into the design and uses a special glue in lieu of mortar to bind the bricks together.
