<p>The construction industry already faces a shortage of skilled labor—and the average age for US construction workers is 45. Luckily, the field of robotics is advancing rapidly. Construction companies are now able to use automated devices that augment human capabilities and take people out of harm’s way. Longtime technologist and futurist Jeff Sample of eSUB introduces us to a range of new robots that can handle physically demanding tasks like demolition, moving cinderblocks, and hanging drywall, and shows how intelligent robotics can make building faster, safer, and more efficient.</p>
<h2>About the speaker</h2>
<p>Jeff Sample is a speaker and consultant with over 20 years in the information technology services field, with an emphasis on construction and robotics. He currently serves as the director of strategic accounts at <a href="https://esub.com/" target="_blank">eSUB Construction Software</a> and holds a degree from Quinnipiac University.</p>

<p>As one of the largest sectors in the world economy and the largest consumer of raw materials, the construction industry must reduce waste and improve efficiency to meet the growing demand for housing. One way to tackle this problem is by bridging the gap between digital design and manual construction. In other words: robots. CEO and Co-Founder of Scaled Robotics, Stuart Maggs, leads this AU London 2019 industry talk on future applications of robots in construction, and how Forge can help develop construction robotics products.</p>

<p>Humans have been using bricks for somewhere around 9,000 years. And the way we lay bricks has remained the same for millennia. Until now. Today, an Australian company is using a bricklaying robot called Hadrian X to lay bricks without any human intervention. This Redshift article by Rina Diane Caballar introduces you to this exciting new robot and explores its operating mechanics.</p>
