Current platform

Hadrian X

FBR (formerly Fastbrick Robotics; Perth, Australia; listed as ASX:FBR) makes the Hadrian X, a truck-mounted autonomous bricklaying robot whose robotic boom lays blocks and bricks outdoors, using Dynamic Stabilisation Technology to compensate for boom movement in wind and vibration. The company has run build-partner trials and announced partnerships with major homebuilders including PulteGroup and CRH. The registry records it at pilot maturity rather than commercial: despite years of development the Hadrian X remains at trial and build-partner stage rather than at-scale commercial sale, and FBR has faced documented financial distress and capital-raising pressure as an ASX-listed company. The pilot label reflects verified deployment reality rather than aspirational marketing framing.
