      From the article

      >The world’s first bricklayer robot that’s capable of safely working outdoors in uncontrolled environments has arrived in the United States. Hadrian X can build the walls of a house in situ in as little as a day.

      >The giant machine is in the U.S. and once unloaded from the ship and cleared of customs, the next-generation Hadrian X will be transported to a facility in Fort Myers, Florida, according to reports.

      If I were to use a robot to build a house I’d rather use one of those giant 3D printer ones.

      The first? There are at least 3 dutch companies that have build one and are using them to build walls of houses here. Also they are the size of 3 yeti cooler boxes. Not a freaking crane arm like this.

      Quote: “The Hadrian X doesn’t apply mortar between the bricks while placing them. Once the wall is completed, a strong construction adhesive is applied to bond the individual bricks in place, and the company claims that this is stronger than old-school mortar construction, according to [The Robot Report.](https://www.therobotreport.com/1st-hadrian-x-bricklaying-robot-arrives-in-us/#:~:text=FBR%20is%20developing%20an%20automated,structure%20of%20the%20robot%20arm.)”

      This is possibly the most interesting part. I would like to know more about this adhesive method. Since it is being built in Florida and not California I would like to know more about the earthquake resistance of adhesive vs. mortar. Thank you

      Cant wait to hear about how associated costs are drastically cut thanks to this new technology only for resulting products and services to strangely get more and more expensive…

      Great! So now that construction costs are sinking, housing will finally get cheaper too, right? Right? Right…?
