Meet the Spider Robot That 3D Prints Homes

A company in Australia has developed a 3D-printing robot named Charlotte, designed to transform construction both on Earth and potentially on the moon.

Advanced Construction Capabilities

Charlotte is a semi-autonomous prototype with large legs that allow it to straddle walls of two-storey buildings while printing structures. It can create complex architectural features such as curves, arches, and domes, surpassing the limits of traditional construction methods.

Innovative Technology

Earthbuilt Technology, the company behind Charlotte, emphasizes that this technology can significantly reduce construction costs and foster a sustainable, carbon-neutral industry.

“Charlotte and Earthbuilt in particular, the core technology within Charlotte, will be a game changer wherever it goes in the world. It will make construction really, really cheap,” says Jan Golembiewski, CEO and co-founder of Earthbuilt.

With its unique design and capabilities, Charlotte could redefine how buildings are constructed, offering both economic and environmental benefits.

Author's summary: Charlotte, a pioneering 3D-printing spider robot from Earthbuilt Technology, promises to revolutionize construction by enabling affordable, sustainable building designs on Earth and beyond.
