## Common questions

### What is SAM100?

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.

### Who makes SAM100?

SAM100 is made by Construction Robotics, based in Victor, New York, USA, founded in 2007.

### Where is SAM100 deployed?

No verified deployments of SAM100 are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.

### What is SAM100's maturity stage?

SAM100 is at the commercial stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Commercial stage means production-grade deployments are operating at named customer sites.

### Is SAM100 still being made?

SAM100 is discontinued: the product line is permanently ceased; historical records remain on the registry.
