Why join Gravis Robotics?
Autonomy has matured enough to bolt onto existing machines, so a retrofit kit could turn the excavator fleet into autonomous workers. Gravis Robotics, the Zürich robotics firm behind the kit, closed a $200M Series A, a top-3% round for its stage, with SoftBank among its leads. Its claim of up to 30% more throughput from terrain-aware excavation is a number contractors act on, and 9 open roles mean early engineers will shape it.
JustBacked's take, based on Gravis Robotics's own site and its funding and hiring data.
Gravis Robotics is a high-growth Series A start-up backed by SoftBank, bringing Physical AI to the construction industry, turning heavy construction machines into autonomous robots.
Gravis began as an ETH Zurich spin-out, and our unique combination of learning-based automation and augmented remote control lets one operator safely conduct a fleet of earthmoving machines in a gamified environment.
Backed by deep robotics research and now deployed across multiple countries with leading construction and equipment partners, our team is rapidly growing to bring this technology to a trillion-dollar industry.
The Gravis RACK is a machine-agnostic retrofit kit that adds autonomy to excavators and wheel loaders from 10 to 100+ tonnes: LiDAR and camera sensing, GNSS RTK, networking hardware and rugged edge compute that works offline. Paired with the Slate tablet and our Copilot software, it lets an operator run a machine manually, with AI assistance, or fully autonomously.
