That’s short for Semi-Automated Mason, a $400,000 machine which is made by Victor, New York-based Construction Robotics. The machine can lay about 3,000 bricks in an eight-hour shift – several times more than a mason working by hand.[contextly_sidebar id=”TTQk7Dbat6gs1fSkG9kxL3JnRZnHoJH1″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAM’s mechanical arm picked up bricks, covered them with mortar and carefully placed them to form the outside wall of a new elementary school. Working on a scaffold, workers loaded the machine with bricks and scraped off excess mortar left behind by the robot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal, said company president Todd Berich, is to use technology to take on more work and keep his existing customers happy. “Right now I have to tell them ‘no’ because we’re at capacity,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bricklayer Michael Walsh says the robot lessens the load on his body, but he doesn’t think it will take his job. “It ain’t going to replace people,” Walsh said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers isn’t too concerned that robots will displace its members anytime soon, according to policy director Brian Kennedy.[contextly_sidebar id=”kNzSLBOXribpjZjqw6b5I6K1aIxbruNu”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are lots of things that SAM isn’t capable of doing that you need skilled bricklayers to do,” Kennedy said. “We support anything that supports the masonry industry.

They want a nice, clean job in an office.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At his company’s mining plant in Sunol, California, Moy is saving time and money by using a drone to measure the giant piles of rock and sand his company sells for construction.[contextly_sidebar id=”7mkVsPeISuwnDnuXfnEOrqIMWggc47ED”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The autonomous quadcopter can survey the entire 90-acre site in 25 minutes.

I kept one eye on the road and relied on my peripheral vision to avoid crashing, which was not too hard to do despite going close to 30 mph. Mindful of the battery’s short lifespan, I’d film only in more picturesque areas and record videos in short increments. This was really easy as I’d just tap the arm with a few quick gestures, then glance briefly into the viewfinder to make sure Glass was recording. Once it was rolling, I could focus on riding and shooting video. Not having to worry about any camera mounts or cables was an added bonus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"float: left;padding: 9px\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"288\" height=\"162\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/4qsGTXLnmKs\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch6>CON: Fit Fatigue\u003c/h6>\n\u003cp>Halfway through the ride, we stopped for a snack with the rest of the group. The Glass was starting to feel a bit heavy and I noticed the effects of its unbalanced design. The viewfinder and battery are both located on Glass’s right arm, and the uneven weight distribution was fatiguing, especially since I have a small nose that doesn’t support Glass very well. (Customized versions that accommodated for various facial structures would be ideal, rather like \u003ca href=\"http://www.oakley.com/store/products/men/sunglasses/asian-fit\">Oakley’s Asian fit\u003c/a> sunglasses.) This also affected the steadiness of the video, since it wasn’t perfectly anchored on my face.

I kept one eye on the road and relied on my peripheral vision to avoid crashing, which was not too hard to do despite going close to 30 mph. Mindful of the battery’s short lifespan, I’d film only in more picturesque areas and record videos in short increments. This was really easy as I’d just tap the arm with a few quick gestures, then glance briefly into the viewfinder to make sure Glass was recording.

(Customized versions that accommodated for various facial structures would be ideal, rather like \u003ca href=\"http://www.oakley.com/store/products/men/sunglasses/asian-fit\">Oakley’s Asian fit\u003c/a> sunglasses.)

And there’s a “MyGlass” smartphone app for Android users that helps you configure and manage your device. You can also use the app to “screencast” your activity onto your Android phone so other users can see what you’re seeing through Glass. Two additional features are only available to Android users — SMS and turn-by-turn directions — and the latter uses Glass’ built-in GPS chip.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>There’s 12 GB of usable memory that’s synced with Google cloud storage (with a total of 16 GB flash memory.) According to \u003ca href=\"https://support.google.com/glass/answer/3064128?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">their website\u003c/a>, the high-resolution display is “the equivalent of a 25-inch high definition screen from eight feet away.” Photos taken with Glass have 5 MP resolution, while videos produce 720p HD resolution.

(Sara predicted that I may upgrade to a brighter color in the near future — she was on her third pair and had switched to the livelier pastel coral shade. “People are staring at you anyway, so you might as well show it off!” she laughed.) And it felt surprisingly natural peering through the small screen, which is akin to viewing the world through your own miniature movie theatre.

But now that I’m used to chatting with my gadgets using voice-operated software, this aspect doesn’t feel so awkward. Or you can swipe the right arm of the device to scroll through the menu of options. It did take me a while to get the hang of manually navigating through Glass, and I fumbled back and forth through the menus as I confused the left-right, up-down gestures for the first hour. But I became fairly adept at choosing the options I wanted over time and perused weather reports, performed some Google searches, read \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> and even had it read aloud several articles back to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how would Glass function out in the world?

And there’s a “MyGlass” smartphone app for Android users that helps you configure and manage your device. You can also use the app to “screencast” your activity onto your Android phone so other users can see what you’re seeing through Glass. Two additional features are only available to Android users — SMS and turn-by-turn directions — and the latter uses Glass’ built-in GPS chip.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>There’s 12 GB of usable memory that’s synced with Google cloud storage (with a total of 16 GB flash memory.) According to \u003ca href=\"https://support.google.com/glass/answer/3064128?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">their website\u003c/a>, the high-resolution display is “the equivalent of a 25-inch high definition screen from eight feet away.” Photos taken with Glass have 5 MP resolution, while videos produce 720p HD resolution. Glass also comes with two interchangeable lenses: tinted and clear.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Audio is delivered through \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_conduction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bone conduction transducer \u003c/a>technology. Sara mentioned that one hearing-impaired user she worked with was concerned she wouldn’t be able to use the device to its full capability.

(Sara predicted that I may upgrade to a brighter color in the near future — she was on her third pair and had switched to the livelier pastel coral shade. “People are staring at you anyway, so you might as well show it off!” she laughed.) And it felt surprisingly natural peering through the small screen, which is akin to viewing the world through your own miniature movie theatre. (But my husband definitely made quite a few \u003cem>Terminator\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Robocop\u003c/em> jokes at my expense.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can control the device’s features by saying the phrase, “Ok, Glass.” I remember when \u003ca href=\"http://www.apple.com/ios/siri/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Siri\u003c/a> first rolled out several years ago, I was rather self-conscious about talking to my iPhone. But now that I’m used to chatting with my gadgets using voice-operated software, this aspect doesn’t feel so awkward. Or you can swipe the right arm of the device to scroll through the menu of options. It did take me a while to get the hang of manually navigating through Glass, and I fumbled back and forth through the menus as I confused the left-right, up-down gestures for the first hour. But I became fairly adept at choosing the options I wanted over time and perused weather reports, performed some Google searches, read \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> and even had it read aloud several articles back to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how would Glass function out in the world?
