'Walter', the bricklaying robot that builds up to 60 square meters of wall a day, could reach construction sites in 2027
The WLTR robot, known as Walter, completed its first tests in France and could join real construction projects in early 2027. The device uses a robotic arm on a mobile platform that interprets digital plans and relies on sensors and laser technology to lay bricks with millimetric precision. The demonstrations took place at Scale One, Bouygues Construction's innovation center in Chilly-Mazarin, south of Paris. Its development began in 2021 with KM Robotics and Wienerberger, and it has already taken part in more than 100 projects in Europe.
