Avid Reader Press, 2020
¿De qué se trata?
The creation of a bricklaying robot is a testament to trial-and-error technological development.
Recommendation
SAM, the semi-autonomous mason, was the world’s first bricklaying robot, but technical and human obstacles impeded its acceptance in the traditional construction industry. In this engaging read, journalist Jonathan Waldman describes SAM’s trial-and-error path of experimentation, mistakes and lessons learned. Construction Robotics, which built SAM, simplified its operations and increased its reliability and speed – from laying a brick every 50 seconds to installing one faster than every nine seconds.
