Using artificial intelligence originally designed for self-driving cars means that the robots can navigate sites independently.<\/p>\n<p>The robots have been built with more affordable hardware, which is reflected in more affordable prices.<\/p>\n<p>The bricklaying robots can also lay more than one brick pattern, which will boost individuality in housing developments and may make contractor services more appealing to developers.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 696px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-137151-1\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/monumental-bricklaying-video.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/monumental-bricklaying-video.mp4\">https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/monumental-bricklaying-video.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<h3>The robot bricklayers work in teams of three<\/h3>\n<p>One robot picks up bricks and another mortar, which they both bring to the bricklaying robot.<\/p>\n<p>The bricklayer lays bricks and mortar autonomously and has two tower cranes to reach the top of a building from the ground floor.<\/p>\n<p>The process does require a human for the pointing and smoothing the mortar, as well as fixing wall ties that anchor bricks to the building&#8217;s structure. To address this, Monumental currently sells brick laying services to construction companies rather than the robots themselves.<\/p>\n<p>This comes with a human bricklayer to oversee and perform functions the robots cannot and services charges (by the brick laid) are comparable to that of a single human bricklayer.<\/p>\n<h3>The UK is facing a severe shortage of bricklayers<\/h3>\n<p>Whilst still much cheaper than previous robot bricklayers, Monumental&#8217;s robots still cost around $25,000(just under \u00a320,000).<\/p>\n<p>However, in light of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/uk-set-to-recruit-tradespeople-abroad-in-response-to-shortage-of-bricklayers-and-carpenters\/122924\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skills shortages across the US, UK and Europe<\/a>, anecdotal interest in the robot bricklayers is promising.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the biggest surprises for us, is that we thought we would have to be slightly cheaper [than human masons],\u201d said Salar al Khafaji, the company\u2019s co-founder and CEO. \u201cIt turns out no one cares.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Monumental&#8217;s robot bricklayers could complete jobs even faster than a human team, suggests al Khafaji, if deployed as a swarm of robots on a single job. The shortage of available human bricklayers means contractors may not be able to do the same with a human team.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monumental&#8217;s robot bricklayers can work as fast as a human stonemason and could be the answer to the UK&#8217;s brickie shortage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":137156,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38487],"tags":[172725,85860,148511,273],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-137151","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-construction-technology-news","8":"tag-artificial-intelligence","9":"tag-construction-video","10":"tag-process-automation","11":"tag-research-innovation"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>[VIDEO] Robot bricklayers could be coming to UK with new startup | Planning, Building &amp;
