Key Developments & Data

Gravis Robotics raises $200M in Series A funding led by SoftBank. SoftBank led the $200M Series A round, which Gravis claims is the largest in construction robotics history. The ETH Zurich spinoff retrofits existing excavators with its Gravis Rack control kit instead of building custom machinery. The autonomous software supports mixed fleets from Caterpillar, John Deere, Volvo, and Hitachi. Gravis reports the technology boosts worksite productivity by up to 30% over peak manual operations. "Our machines are built for the messy, unscripted reality of live jobsites that breaks traditional automation." — Ryan Luke Johns General contractors won't replace their entire iron fleet when an aftermarket control kit delivers autonomous earthmoving on hardware they already own.
