FBR Limited (ASX:FBR) which is a robotic technology company is happy to announce its recent achievement of demonstrating its robotic home building technology. By using this technology, the company was able to build a home structure having 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom within a span of 3 days. The total area of the structure was 180m2. It was a technical milestone that the company has set in the year 2015. From the companyâs point of view, this milestone is the worldâs first achievement and is considered to be the most successful technical milestone to date in the Hadrian X programme.

The Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) was performed at the test facility of FBR. There were three key parameters which were focused by the Hadrian X. It consists of a two-course structure which considers a full combination of the size of bricks used, the cuts and the configuration of laying them. Secondly, it consists of the structure of 11-course pillars which will demonstrate the Hadrian Xâs potential to build from slab to cap height. Thirdly, check the potential of Hadrian Xâs to build a larger two-room structure on a slab from a 3D CAD model with the required level of accuracy.
When the FAT was completed successfully, the Hadrian X then started building its first full home structure. This structure got completed within a period of 3 days. Further, verification of the structure was done to identify whether the relevant structure meets the standard of civil and structural engineering consultancy group.
On completing the full home structure using the Hadrian X, the CEO of the company Mike Pivac stated that the company is very proud to achieve this first milestone. He also commented that a massive market is waiting for the company as they now have the worldâs only fully automated along with end-to-end bricklaying solution. The company will now take the learnings till date from the Hadrian X programme. Further, they are trying to bring some enhancements by bringing both Hadrian X robots to their High Wycombe facility. Also, a demo of Hadrian X robots will be given to the key commercial stakeholders. The company is now taking a step ahead, as they are going to commercialize the strategy globally by deriving significant advantage from the demand of the technology. The CEO of the company also expresses his gratitude towards the tireless efforts of the team who successfully delivered the game-changing technology. This also indicates that the company has massive potential to reshape the methodology on which the construction industry works in the future.
