In the construction sector there are many activities that could be more automated, which would improve human performance and other activities in a project.

One of the activities that requires greater automation is the placement of brick walls, where each brick is joined to others by a union that is made of mortar, a mixture of water, cement and sand, the placement of this mortar is done manually and other times with accessories that facilitate its placement; but a device that mixes these additives and programmed mechanisms would help to quickly place the courses of brick.

That is the idea that I present in my project, that of an automated mortar installer. The pieces would be made of plastic that guarantees its resistance to the abrasion of the aggregates of the mortar and the cement.

Below is a sketch of the idea.
