Why This Tool Exists
Manual material handling on construction sites leads to worker injuries and slow productivity. Workers can only lay 400-600 bricks per day manually and lifting materials over 135 lbs requires multiple workers, creating safety risks and labor bottlenecks.
MULE robots assist with lifting materials up to 135 lbs while SAM robots autonomously lay 2,000-3,000 bricks per day using computer vision and robotic arms. Both systems work alongside human operators to double productivity while reducing injury risk.
