D.R. Horton will use Promise Robotics' “factory on demand” model to build more than 1250 homes across the country. According to The Robot Report, cited by Robot Newspaper, the agreement runs for several years.

D.R. Horton, the largest home builder in the United States by volume, is the first major US builder to use the Promise Robotics platform.

The company's co-founder and chief executive says it can put up the frame of a 2-family, 2-storey house with a basement and garage in a single day, excluding electrics, windows and plumbing. This work usually takes 2 to 3 weeks.

Promise Robotics currently works with its own cloud simulation and KUKA industrial arms, but says it does not depend on any one robot brand.

Its first production sites are being set up in Edmonton and Calgary in Canada, and in Phoenix in the United States.
