FBR :: Advanced Robotic Systems That Operate in Challenging, Real-World Environments

FBR (FBR Limited) is an Australian robotics and industrial automation company based in Perth, Western Australia. Originally focused on construction robotics, the company has evolved into a broader industrial automation technology provider, developing advanced robotic systems that operate in challenging, real-world environments. FBR is publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: FBR) and the U.S. OTCQB market. Its core innovation is Dynamic Stabilisation Technology (DST®), a proprietary system that uses advanced sensors, software, and rapid mechanical responses to counteract environmental instability (wind, vibration, uneven surfaces) in real time, allowing robots to maintain precision and reliability in uncontrolled settings.

FBR’s technology enables autonomous operation where traditional fixed automation or manual labor is inefficient, dangerous, or impractical. The company targets multiple sectors including construction, general industry, maritime, and steel fabrication, with a focus on improving productivity, reducing costs, and enhancing safety.

Key robot-based products include:

• Hadrian X®: The world’s first truly autonomous bricklaying robot. It uses DST® to lay bricks with high speed and accuracy on real job sites, adapting to uneven terrain and environmental conditions. Hadrian X can significantly increase construction output while reducing labor demands and physical strain on workers.
• Mantis™: A stabilized long-boom robotic system designed for large-scale welding and other heavy industrial tasks. With exceptional reach and dynamic stabilization, Mantis delivers up to 4x productivity gains in welding applications by maintaining precision despite boom movement or external disturbances. It is suitable for shipbuilding, structural steel, and large fabrication projects.

FBR’s robots combine mechanical engineering, AI-driven control, and robust sensing to perform complex tasks with minimal human intervention. The company offers both complete robotic systems and DST® technology licensing for custom applications. FBR continues to expand its portfolio and global reach, with a strong emphasis on practical deployment and measurable ROI for industrial customers.
