Lego-like bricks for emergency construction

The world’s fastest brick-laying construction robot was recently also developed in Perth by a company called FBR. MCC is based on the other side of the city, and its model is focused on practicality as well as speed of deployment.

The company’s moving brick factory makes bricks from the rubble of destroyed buildings. These can be stacked and joined together like Lego to build mortarless structures.

The method can be deployed in wartorn areas and regions affected by natural disasters to quickly build infrastructure. It can travel in a 10-ft (3-m) standard shipping container, meaning it can be quickly deployed.
