One brick at a time: How Monumental uses robotics to build walls

In Episode 261 of The Robot Report Podcast, we learn about “Walls as a Service” and the emerging construction opportunity for robotics and automation.

Our guest is Salar al Khafaji, founder and CEO of Monumental. A recognized leader at the intersection of AI, robotics, and the built environment, he is focused on bringing scalable automation to construction, one of the world’s largest and least digitized industries, by making it software-defined and hardware-enabled.

Previously, al Kafaji co-founded the data visualization platform Silk, which Palantir Technologies acquired in 2016.

Be sure to catch our prior coverage this week of Monumental.
