Profile

Construction Robotics is a U.S.-based company headquartered in Victor, New York, specializing in advanced labor-saving automation technology for the construction and masonry industries. Founded with a focus on addressing critical challenges such as labor shortages, worker safety, and productivity on job sites, the company develops practical robotic and lift-assist solutions that work collaboratively with skilled tradespeople rather than replacing them. Its systems are designed to handle repetitive, physically demanding tasks, particularly in masonry and material handling, while improving efficiency, reducing injuries, and helping projects stay on schedule.

The company’s flagship earlier product was SAM100 (Semi-Automated Mason), one of the first commercially available bricklaying robots for onsite masonry construction. SAM works alongside masons, using a robotic arm and conveyor system to place bricks at high speed (reportedly 3–6 times faster than manual methods in some cases), while the mason handles setup, mortar application, and final quality control. It significantly reduces physical strain and has been deployed on commercial projects for nearly a decade.

Current primary robot-based product: MULE (Material Unit Lift Enhancer)

The MULE is a mobile, intelligent lift-assist system that allows workers to handle heavy materials as if they weigh almost nothing. It is available in two models:

ML150: Higher-capacity variant designed for heavier loads.
MZ100: Compact and versatile model optimized for a wide range of construction tasks.

Key capabilities include lifting and precisely placing materials up to 150 lbs with ease, such as concrete masonry units (CMU blocks), stone, and other heavy building components. The system enhances safety by dramatically reducing manual lifting, lowers worker fatigue, and increases overall productivity. It is rugged, job-site ready, and intuitive to operate, making it suitable for general contractors, masonry crews, and various building projects. Testimonials highlight faster unit placement, reduced back strain, maintained schedules, and improved end-of-day worker well-being.

Construction Robotics emphasizes real-world value through increased safety, greater efficiency, and proven productivity gains. The company offers rentals, dealer programs, free job analysis services, and strong customer support. Its solutions represent a practical step toward smart construction, combining robotics with human expertise to modernize an industry facing workforce challenges.
