November 30, 2025, 9:31 am
Gravis Robotics raised $23M. The funding will help expand operations. They also signed global partnerships. This expands their reach worldwide. The company aims to transform construction. Its tech increases productivity and safety.
Gravis Robotics is making waves in construction. They secured $23 million in funding. This investment boosts their autonomous tech. They also forged global partnerships. Their reach now spans multiple continents.
The funding round was co-led by IQ Capital and Zacua Ventures. Pear VC, Imad, Sunna Ventures, Armada Investment, and Holcim also participated. The capital will fuel expansion and workforce growth. It will also strengthen partnerships.
Gravis focuses on learning-based earthmoving autonomy. Their systems are already deployed. They are used in construction and quarry operations. Applications include material handling and site preparation.
A key project is at Manchester Airport. This marks the first large-scale autonomous excavation in the UK. Gravis also partners with Flannery. This offers rental excavators with Gravis tech. OEM integrations are expanding, too. Develon and Kibag are key partners.
Gravis has a broad global footprint. Their technology is used in seven countries. They are addressing a massive market. Earthmoving and mining are worth over $1.6 trillion. The funding will help them lead the autonomy revolution.
Their retrofit system adapts to site conditions. It uses data from various sensors. Hydraulics, LiDAR, cameras, and GNSS provide input. Gravis Slate, a tablet interface, augments operations. It offers real-time intelligence. This improves performance and enables new autonomous capabilities.
Construction faces labor shortages and productivity challenges. Gravis aims to enhance human operators. Their systems increase output by 30%. They also reduce rework and improve safety. Europe is a key market. Its high standards and contracting presence are beneficial. Zurich provides access to robotics and automation expertise.
The leadership team has deep industry experience. Ryan Luke Johns and Dominic Jud are co-founders. They bring expertise from ETH Zurich. Marco Hutter, an AI researcher, is also a co-founder and board member.
Gravis emphasizes productivity gains. Their systems offer real-time 3D intelligence. Operators can switch between autonomy and augmented control. This accelerates adoption and creates valuable data. This data helps learn new capabilities.
Their tech adapts to various tasks. Trenching, earthworks, grading, and material handling are all supported. Gravis aims to complement human teams. This increases output and improves safety.
The company is actively deploying its systems. Taylor Woodrow uses it at Manchester Airport. This showcases autonomous excavation on a large scale. Partnerships with Flannery and OEM dealers are crucial. This expands access to Gravis technology.
Gravis is active in the UK, EU, US, LATAM, and Asia. This represents a wide deployment of autonomous excavation technology. They bring autonomy to the earthmoving equipment rental market.
The new funding will drive further development. It will scale industry partnerships and leverage global distribution. This will support the large-scale rollout of autonomous earthmoving solutions. Gravis is poised to transform construction with its innovative technology. They are improving efficiency, safety, and productivity. The company is positioned for rapid growth and industry leadership.
