About Hadrian
Hadrian is a truck-mounted construction robot with a 32-metre telescopic boom. FBR software converts wall designs into block positions, cuts blocks where required and controls placement through Dynamic Stabilisation Technology, which compensates for boom movement and environmental vibration.
The current system handles blocks weighing up to 45 kilograms and is designed for laying speeds reaching 360 blocks per hour. A two-person operating crew manages the robot and supporting telehandler. FBR provides Hadrian through Wall-as-a-Service projects, licensed operations and selected direct sales.
