Two pages of interest to us;
pg 54 - To counteract the upward trend of construction costsdue to the shortage of skilled workers, we supplyprefabricated wall elements or novel types of bricks thatcan be laid more quickly and even by masonry robots. Inthe Wienerberger Building Solutions Business Unit, robotsare also used upstream of the construction site, i.e. inproduction. The use of robotics helps us achieve a higherdegree of precision and reduce potential hazards.

pg 110 - Exploring new fields of activity – new materialsand roboticsWienerberger continued its strategic partnership withthe Interbran Group aimed at the development of noveland sustainable high-performing insulating materials. R&Defforts are focused on non-combustible, perlite-based insulatingmaterials. The first products have already reachedmarket maturity. Cooperation with Interbran opens up anew field for Wienerberger’s business in the roof, wall andfacade segments.In the course of our ongoing innovation efforts, weare intensively exploring the possibilities of masonry robotsand prefabrication. Our vision is to offer our customersan all-in wall solution that speeds up the work ofbrick-laying and the erection of walls, reduces costs and, atthe same time, offers the advantage of increased safety, efficiencyand quality.

I'll read the report, thanks. But, from your snippet no mention of FBR directly has been said. I'm sure the trolls will point out they might have their own "solutions".

This statement in particular could be interpreted both ways.

n cooperation with various stakeholders,including well-established businesses, start-upsand universities, the first prototype of an innovative masonryrobot for use on construction sites has been designed.
