ETH Zurich researchers used an autonomous Menzi Muck excavator to build a 19.6-foot-tall stone wall. The heavy machinery achieved this through the use of specialized sensors that enabled it to draw a 3D map of the construction site and localize existing building blocks as well as stones for the wall’s construction.



These specialized tools and machine vision allowed the excavator to scan / grab large stones in its immediate environment, while also registering their approximate weight. An algorithm was then utilized to determine the best position for each stone before the excavator placed the stones in the desired location. The excavator is capable of placing between 20-30 stones in a single task.

The work illustrates the potential of autonomous heavy construction vehicles to build adaptively with highly irregular, abundant, and sustainable materials that require little to no transportation and preprocessing,” said the researchers.

FBR’s Brick-Laying Hadrian X Robot Successfully Builds Curved Wall

FBR’s Brick-Laying Hadrian X Robot Successfully Builds Curved Wall

FBR Hadrian X Robot Build Wall Bricks
Australia-based FBR’s Hadrian X robot has been designed to lay up to 500 bricks per hour, and it recently built a curved wall for the first time. It’s capable of completing both the external and internal walls of a standard double brick house in a single day.



A 32 meter (105 foot) telescopic boom arm provides further reach than its predecessor, enabling construction of walls three stories high from the roadside as well as the ability to lay blocks within 50mm of existing walls. FBR just announced a strategic agreement with U.K. based shareholder M & G Investment Management to fund the manufacture and commercial deployment of three additional next-generation Hadrian X robots for use in the United States.
