Meet SAM, the bricklaying robot

The video discusses the SAM system developed by Construction Robotics, which aids masons in brick installation, enhancing productivity and reducing physical strain. SAM is designed for commercial masonry, particularly in schools and institutions. The system allows older masons to work without heavy lifting, potentially attracting young talent to the industry. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has been crucial in supporting the development of this high-risk technology, addressing challenges in both technology and business implementation. The integration of robotics in construction could benefit the US economy and job market.

In what ways does the SAM system reduce physical demands on masons?
