FBR Limited, a leading robotic technology company, announced a few days ago the arrival of its innovative construction robot called Hadrian X to the United States after a seven-week sea voyage. This breakthrough marks a crucial step before the start of the expected Demonstration Program.
Hadrian X testing process
After arrival and customs clearance, the robot was moved to a facility in Fort Myers, Florida, where it will undergo a rigorous series of acceptance tests. These tests will replicate those already performed in the factory, but will add additional challenges such as the use of tie beam blocks and an evaluation by an independent structural engineer, who will verify that the walls built during the test meet current design standards and building regulations.
Hadrian X came to Florida as a result of a collaboration between FBR and CRH Ventures Americas, Inc. a subsidiary of CRH plc, which is among the largest concrete block distributors in the United States.
The completion of on-site acceptance testing will mark the official start of the Demonstration Program, in which the Hadrian X® will demonstrate its capabilities by constructing the exterior walls of 5 to 10 single-family, single-story homes.
Features of the Hadrian X construction robot
Hadrian X is the world’s first mobile robotic machine and system dedicated to block placement. This robot has the ability to work outdoors in uncontrolled environments with impressive efficiency with impressive efficiency, achieving an optimal combination of speed and precision. Using the dynamic stabilization technology (DST) developed by FBR, Hadrian X is able to correct in real time any dynamic interference and vibration, ensuring accurate placement of the blocks according to the designs of a 3D CAD model.
In addition, its specialized optimization program transforms wall designs into specific block locations, reducing handling and waste of building materials to increase efficiency in residential projects.

This method not only generates considerably less waste compared to traditional construction methods, but also drastically improves safety at the construction site. In addition, the Hadrian X’s ability to erect the walls of a house in a single day highlights its efficiency and radically transforms the construction process.
With the approval of FBR’s Board of Directors, this announcement has been made public and reflects the company’s commitment to innovation in the construction sector.
