AUSTRALIA DEBUTS FIRST MULTI-STORY 3D PRINTED HOME \u2013 BUILT IN JUST 5 MONTHS<\/a><\/p>\n Charlotte the robot 3D prints homes in just 24 hours using eco-friendly materials.\u00a0 (Crest Robotics)<\/p>\n How Charlotte the robot works<\/p>\n Charlotte is a collaboration between Crest Robotics and Earthbuilt Technology. The robot doesn’t simply stack bricks or tie rebar. Instead, it uses a giant extrusion system that lays down eco-friendly material in layers.<\/p>\n That material comes from sand, crushed brick and recycled glass, all locally sourced. The result? A structure that’s fireproof, floodproof and created with a far smaller carbon footprint than traditional building methods.<\/p>\n SUSTAINABLE 3D-PRINTED HOME BUILT PRIMARILY FROM SOIL<\/a><\/p>\n Why Charlotte the robot stands out<\/p>\n This 3D printing construction robot stands out for its unique mix of speed, strength, versatility and affordability.<\/p>\n Speed: Prints a home in 24 hours.Strength: Uses durable, sustainable materials.Versatility: Can raise itself on spider-like legs to keep building higher walls.Affordability: Cuts out many of the expensive steps in construction.<\/p>\n While Charlotte is still in the development phase, a scaled-down prototype has already been showcased. Researchers believe it could help solve housing shortages where labor is scarce and construction costs are skyrocketing.<\/p>\n Its spider-like legs let it climb and build higher, cutting costs and saving time.\u00a0 (Crest Robotics)<\/p>\n The future of 3D printed moon bases beyond Earth<\/p>\n Charlotte’s creators also have their eyes set on the stars. They imagine future versions of the robot building<\/a> moon bases for research and exploration. With its compact design and autonomous operation, Charlotte could adapt to the extreme environments of space just as well as it can to the challenges on Earth.<\/p>\n THE NEW ROBOT THAT COULD MAKE CHORES A THING OF THE PAST<\/a><\/p>\n What this means for you<\/p>\n If Charlotte delivers on its promise, it could reshape how homes are built worldwide. Faster construction means quicker housing availability. Lower costs and sustainable materials mean more affordable homes with a smaller environmental impact. For anyone facing rising housing prices or construction delays, technology like Charlotte may bring a ray of hope.<\/p>\n Take my quiz: How safe is your online security?<\/p>\n Think your devices and data are truly protected?

From tackling housing crises on Earth to building shelters on the moon<\/a>, Charlotte shows how robotics and 3D printing can work together to solve real problems.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP<\/a><\/p>\n Would you live in a home 3D printed by a robot like Charlotte, or even in one built on the moon?
