Deployment
SAM100 at United States
Construction Robotics (Victor, New York) is best known for the SAM100 (Semi-Automated Mason), a bricklaying robot designed to work alongside a human mason, and for the MULE (Material Unit Lift Enhancer), a material-lift-assist device. The SAM100 reached commercial deployment with masonry contractors at its peak. The registry records it at commercial maturity to reflect that historical peak, but with a discontinued lifecycle state: the SAM100 line appears wound down, with the company's homepage now leading with the MULE lift-assist product and the dedicated SAM page no longer prominently maintained, indicating a pivot to the MULE line (the active/retired split pattern). Throughput claims such as roughly 3,000 bricks per day are vendor and press stated, and there is no reliable current count of active SAM100 units, so the bricklaying line is best treated as historical.
