Robotic Bricklayer Builds UK House Yorkshire
A three-bedroom house in East Yorkshire is being built by a robot
A robotic bricklayer created by Construction Automation is promising increased construction industry productivity with improved better quality houses and improved health and safety on construction sites.
The automatic bricklaying robot can lay bricks blocks and mortar. Construction on the house in Yorkshire started on 28 September and the company expects the build to be finished in three weeks with just one skilled worker overseeing construction by the robot. Two workers are needed to operate the machine including loading bricks and mortar into the robot and carry out other essential work such as pointing and installing damp proof coursing. Scaffolding is not required and no one needs to work at height so it is safer.
