A robot that builds a house in 24 hours, requires neither cement nor bricks; this technology will surprise you

Tech News: Whenever an ordinary person considers building a house, it involves a significant expense, as well as a significant amount of time. Building a house typically takes a year or two. But what if someone told you that your house could be ready in just 24 hours? It might be hard to believe, but in this age of technology, even seemingly impossible things are becoming possible. A robot is being developed in Sydney, Australia, capable of building your dream home in just 24 hours.

The remarkable thing is that this robot doesn't build a house using cement and bricks, but rather uses local soil, sand, and clean garbage. Let's learn about this robot and its unique technology.

Combines robotics and 3D printing to work

Earth.com reports that a new robot named Charlotte is being developed in Sydney. This robot resembles a spider, which is why it's also called the Spider Robot. It uses 3D printing technology. Developers say it can build an entire house of approximately 200 square meters (about 2,150 square feet) on its own. Charlotte is a walking robot with multiple legs. It combines robotics and 3D printing. It builds the entire structure layer by layer.

How does one build a house out of mud?

Charlotte has a system at the base that collects sand, soil, and broken bricks from the surrounding area. It then wraps it in a cloth-like binder, extrudes it through a nozzle, and builds the wall layer by layer. No mortar is needed. Dr. Jan Golembiewski said the robot can work as fast as more than 100 laborers. It can be easily transported to remote villages because it can be folded and compacted.

Not only on Earth, but we can also build houses on the Moon

Charlotte is currently just a prototype, that is, an initial model. However, Charlotte is not being built only for Earth. Its lightweight and bendable design is also perfect for lunar soil. NASA and other companies want to build houses there from lunar soil (regolith). The dust there is very fine and sticky, gravity is low, and temperatures can fluctuate between extremes. But research shows that lunar soil can also be converted into strong walls. If all goes well, robots like Charlotte will build the first human homes on the Moon.

Will robots replace workers?

Some fear that the advent of robots will lead to job losses for laborers. In some countries, where labor is already scarce, robots like Charlotte will help. However, where millions of people survive solely on manual labor, new training and additional tasks will be needed. Experts say that it would be better if robots and humans worked together. Robots can handle heavy and repetitive tasks, while humans can do the planning and finishing touches. This would speed up work and preserve jobs.
