Gravis Autonomous Excavator System at Zürich, Switzerland

Retrofit autonomous control system for heavy construction machinery. The Gravis Rack hardware kit + AI software transforms standard excavators from 9+ OEM brands (Caterpillar, Case, Develon, John Deere, JCB, Hitachi, Sumitomo, Yanmar, Volvo) into autonomous or semi-autonomous robotic systems. Models trained on billions of cubic yards of simulated earth handle varying soil conditions from soft clay to rock-filled ground, achieving up to 30% productivity gains over peak manual operation. Operates in two modes: Gravis Copilot (operator-in-cab with 3D guidance) and full autonomy (operator supervises multiple machines remotely).
