A spider-shaped construction robot named Charlotte is being developed in Sydney with the ability to 3D-print a full-sized house in just 24 hours, revolutionizing the construction industry. The robot autonomously builds structural walls for a 2,150-square-foot home using sustainable materials such as sand, soil, and clean waste, completely eliminating the need for cement and significantly reducing carbon emissions.
Charlotte’s multi-legged design enables it to navigate uneven terrain, while advanced compaction and extrusion techniques allow it to create continuous walls without using mortar. This innovative approach not only accelerates the building process but also offers a more eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for housing construction, potentially transforming how homes are built in the future.
