A robot developed by an Australian company can build a house made out of bricks four times faster than humans can, and with only one arm.

Business Insider story details the Hadrian 105 robot, made by Fastbrick Robotics in Perth, Australia. Using its arm, the robot can lay 225 standard-sized bricks per hour — which equals about a half day's work for a fast human bricklayer.
The company released a time-lapse video to show off the robot's capabilities.
Researchers are working on another prototype bricklaying robot, which would be able to lay 1,000 bricks per hour — twice as much work a human can do in an entire day.
"We are a frontier technology company, and we're one step closer to bringing fully automated, end-to-end 3D printing brick construction into the mainstream," Fastbrick CEO Mike Pivac told Business Insider.
"We're very excited to be taking the world-first technology we proved with the Hadrian 105 demonstrator and manufacturing a state-of-the-art machine."
Android co-founder Andy Rubin said in June robots could eventually
control every connected device around us.
