Construction Robotics (Victor, New York) is best known for the SAM100 (Semi-Automated Mason), a bricklaying robot designed to work alongside a human mason, and for the MULE (Material Unit Lift Enhancer), a material-lift-assist device. There is no consumer price, and the SAM100 bricklaying line is discontinued. The SAM100 reached commercial deployment with masonry contractors at its peak (recorded at commercial maturity historically), but it appears wound down: the company's homepage now leads with the MULE lift-assist product and the dedicated SAM page is no longer prominently maintained, indicating a pivot to the MULE line. Throughput claims such as roughly 3,000 bricks per day are vendor- and press-stated, and there is no reliable current count of active SAM100 units, so the bricklaying line is best treated as historical. With FBR's pilot-stage Hadrian X, the SAM100 forms the bricklaying-automation cautionary pair: two different approaches to brick-laying robotics, one wound down and one stalled at pilot.
