Robots on the rise

Australian company Fastbrick Robotics has developed Hadrian X, which can lay 1,000 bricks in one hour – a task that would take two humans at least a day.

In 2015, Simbe Robotics unveiled Tally, “the world’s first fully autonomous shelf auditing and analytics solution” for supermarkets.

Delaval International’s cow-milking robot will be deployed at a dairy farm in Michigan this year.
