How it works on your site
The Hadrian X is a truck-mounted robotic bricklaying system that places concrete masonry blocks using a 32 m telescopic boom arm with adhesive bonding instead of mortar. It constructs structural load-bearing walls for residential homes, covering both external and internal walls; foundations, roofing, services, and finishing trades stay with the crew. Hadrian X has been shipping since 2019, with 10 completed homes in Florida under the current-generation unit.
Corner and Lead Construction
The boom arm reaches up to three storeys from the roadside, placing blocks on corners and leads without scaffolding. Proprietary adhesive bonds each block in place with an approximate 45-minute cure time, replacing traditional mortar courses.
Unit Placement (Brick/Block/Stone)
DST (Dynamic Stabilisation Technology) uses laser sensing and real-time 3D monitoring to counteract boom vibration during placement. The operator loads wall designs through TAD software on a tablet; the system converts CAD positions into block coordinates and runs the laying cycle while the crew manages block supply via telehandler.
