This is also one of our first projects that shows off the more bespoke and beautiful designs we're able to make with our robots–without going slower or being more expensive.

So proud of this project, done together with our partners at @DuraVermeer. There is something magical in being able to help literally build up our own city, and there is nothing more iconic in Amsterdam than our canals.

The answer is YES. Most people assume that working on a robotics startup means you need to write embedded code, or have very specific robotics experience. Not true!.

We just delivered an ENTIRE BLOCK of 8 houses near in Assendelft (near Amsterdam). All the brickwork was entirely done with a fleet of 5 of Monumental's robots (yes, including the corners) working together, a first in the world.
