Spider Robot: A spider-shaped robot is being developed in Sydney that can build a full-size house in just one day. The name of this robot is Charlotte and the developers claim that it can erect strong walls of a house up to 2,150 square feet in a completely autonomous manner. The special thing is that it neither requires transportation of cement nor bricks, this robot makes layer-by-layer walls by pressing soil, sand and clean waste on the site itself.

Charlotte – the next generation construction robot

According to Earth.com, Charlotte is a mobile, legged system that combines 3D printing and additive manufacturing. Its design shows the direction in which the future construction sector is moving. Crest Robotics Director Clyde Webster’s team developed it specifically for construction jobs that are heavy, repetitive or risky.

According to Dr. Jan Golembiewski of Earthbuilt Technology, even something as simple as a brick goes through many carbon-intensive processes. In such a situation, systems like Charlotte can reduce carbon emissions to a huge extent.

New technology of construction from soil to house

Crest’s technology uses a special undercarriage system to collect soil, sand and crushed waste and press it into layers with textile binding. This technology is based on extrusion i.e. walls are formed by expelling material from a nozzle in continuous layers. The team says that this robot can work at the speed of 100 workers. Because of its legs it can move easily even on rough ground where wheeled machines get stuck.

Carbon emissions and costs will reduce

The construction sector would contribute 37% of carbon emissions in 2022. In such a situation, Charlotte’s cement-free method can significantly reduce the carbon footprint. It also reduces costs by converting clean waste into strong walls. Repetitive and risky tasks will be handled by robots, which will also reduce the risk of injury to human labour.

American billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is preparing an ‘army’ of robots. Describing his planning, Musk said that he wants to create a big robot army and in the next few years, 1 million units of Optimus robots will be made. Tesla, which makes electric vehicles, is developing Optimus robot. During the company’s quarterly results, Musk said that Optimus could become Tesla’s most important project so far.

Musk has big expectations from Optimus

Musk has great expectations from the Optimus robot and believes that this robot has the potential to become the biggest product ever. He said that this robot has been designed to work with 5 times more efficiency than a human. Musk has also demanded from the company’s board to give him full authority over this project.

Optimus is being prepared for these tasks

Optimus is being designed to handle repetitive and difficult tasks in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and household support. The company is designing it to work like a human. Musk said that these robots can create a world where there will be no poverty and everyone will get excellent medical facilities. This robot will also be able to work as a surgeon. Optimus was introduced during the Tesla event in 2023 and since then it has been continuously in the headlines. Recently a video of this robot was revealed, in which it was learning kung fu.

Optimus is in testing phase

Since 2023, the company has intensified work on Optimus and now it has reached the testing phase. A few days ago, Musk had said that Optimus runs completely on AI and there is no need to tele-operate it. This means that it can move comfortably and react to actions without any human control. Its production prototype will be ready by the beginning of next year and its mass production is expected to start by the end of next year.
