_Suppliers appear when verified with at least two strong sources. Sources are append-only; corrections add new sources rather than rewrite history._

## Common questions

### What is Exosystem?

Built Robotics (San Francisco; founder Noah Ready-Campbell; about $112M raised) makes autonomous construction heavy-equipment systems: the Exosystem, an autonomy upgrade kit that retrofits standard excavators and other heavy equipment for autonomous earthmoving and trenching, and the RPD 35, an autonomous robotic solar pile driver focused on utility-scale solar farms. It is recorded at commercial maturity, with contractor customers including Mortenson and Black & Veatch. Deployment-scale figures (total solar capacity installed, named utility customers) are an honest absence in independent sources; vendor throughput claims (e.g. ~3x faster pile driving) are stated, not independently verified.

### Who makes Exosystem?

Exosystem is made by Built Robotics, based in San Francisco, California, USA, founded in 2016.

### Where is Exosystem deployed?

No verified deployments of Exosystem are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.

### What is Exosystem's maturity stage?

Exosystem is at the commercial stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Commercial stage means production-grade deployments are operating at named customer sites.
