Caterpillar just bought a stake in Australia's one-armed robot bricklayer Read more at https://www.b
The US construction machinery giant Caterpillar has just invested in Fastbrick Robotics, the Perth-based maker of the one-armed robot bricklayer.
The two also have a memorandum of understanding to develop a collaboration on the development, manufacturing, sales, and services of Fastbrick’s robotic bricklaying technology.
Fastbrick Robotics has also agreed to deal exclusively with Caterpillar for the development and potential commercialisation of the bricklaying technology during the term of the MOU, initially for 12 months.
