Against the record

Hadrian X, from FBR (formerly Fastbrick Robotics), is at stage 4 of 5 on our ladder: paying customers. Delivered and paid for, beyond pilots. The latest milestone on its record is from Oct 2026: FBR's website offers Hadrian for purchase by selected partners, at a base price of A$7.8 million. It lists a top speed of 360 blocks an hour.

This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.

From the video's description

This test piece is representative of a small ship, patrol boat or barge bulkhead, with stringers welded onto a plate. It shows 2F fillet welds and 3F vertical welds, typical of shipyards and boat manufacturing, and of general mining fabrication such as chutes and hoppers. It’s set up on flat bar so we can change it over for different customers without scrapping the plate.
