Watch a lightning-fast robot build a house in just two days

If the three little pigs had this machine to build their house, the big bad wolf would probably still be starving.

Australian company Fastbrick Robotics released a time-lapse video of its commercial brick-laying robotic arm building the shell for a house in a staggering two days -- without ever needing to stop for coffee breaks -- and it's something to behold.

The Hadrian X is a 98-foot 3D robotic crane located atop a truck. The machine works fast, really fast, cutting, routing and placing bricks following a 3D computer-aided design model. The navigation system is so precise it allows for accuracy within less than half a millimeter, according to the company.

The robot can work with bricks of almost any size, without needing human interaction. Fastbrick Robotics aims to reduce construction time, waste and cost for consumers. You might want to start thinking about the mansion of your dreams.
