The construction sector builds the homes we live in, the offices we work in, and the schools our children learn in — but in Europe, there’s a chronic shortage of people to do this critical work.

Dutch startup Monumental thinks it has a solution: AI-powered bricklaying robots capable of working autonomously alongside humans.

Fitted with sensors and computer vision, the fully-electric machines use small crane-like arms to place bricks and mortar with human-level precision, the startup claims. They are small and nimble enough to go anywhere a person can.

“Our agile, intelligent, and adaptable robots and software blend human expertise with robotic efficiency in a way that the industry has never seen before,” said the company’s co-founder and CEO, Salar al Khafaji.
