How it works on your site
The Buildroid is an arm-mounted block-laying robot that places concrete blocks for non-load-bearing partition walls, working alongside a mason and helper on site. It covers one subtask within the masonry job: unit placement for interior partitions, with walls up to 4 m wide and 3 m tall per setup and blocks up to 40 kg. Buildroid began shipping in 2025; planned U.S. commercial deployments have been announced but not confirmed.
Unit Placement (Brick/Block/Stone)
The block-laying robot picks and places concrete blocks while a mason and helper work alongside it. Two types of BLR units coordinate on the same site; the crew continues to handle corners, complex geometry, finishing, and quality checks. The system takes a BIM model in Revit format, runs simulation-based sequencing through NVIDIA Omniverse, and deploys the optimized placement plan on site.
