The Hadrian 105 robot, named after the Roman emperor who built a wall in ancient Britain, has hit a bricklaying speed of 225 standard brick equivalents per hour, or about half a day's work for a top human bricklayer.

To prove it, the company released a time lapse video, showing the robot at work. 

The demonstration was designed to ensure that all of the complex characteristics of a brick house can be handled by the Hadrian 105 robot. 

The vision at Fastbrick Robotics is to create a machine which can complete the brickwork of a home in three days at lower cost and higher quality than traditional methods.
