Supply-chain coverage is being added across the registry; check back as the seed populates this model's suppliers._ _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 Gravis Autonomous Excavator System? 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). ### How much does Gravis Autonomous Excavator System cost? Gravis Autonomous Excavator System's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for Gravis Autonomous Excavator System from Gravis Robotics. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest. ### Is Gravis Autonomous Excavator System actually deployed in the real world? Yes. Gravis Autonomous Excavator System is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only. ### Who makes Gravis Autonomous Excavator System? Gravis Autonomous Excavator System is made by Gravis Robotics, based in Zürich, Switzerland, founded in 2022. ### Where is Gravis Autonomous Excavator System deployed? 4 verified deployments of Gravis Autonomous Excavator System are on the DEPLOY registry, including at Zürich, Switzerland, Austin, Texas, USA, Plymouth, England, UK. ### Can you buy Gravis Autonomous Excavator System? Gravis Autonomous Excavator System is in pilot deployments with named customers and is not yet broadly for sale. ### What are alternatives to Gravis Autonomous Excavator System? On the DEPLOY registry, comparable other robots to Gravis Autonomous Excavator System include 10Beauty Manicure System, PillPick, Hadrian Autonomous Factory, ATGMS. ### How does Gravis Autonomous Excavator System compare to 10Beauty Manicure System? Gravis Autonomous Excavator System and 10Beauty Manicure System (10Beauty · 6 deployments) are both other robots on the DEPLOY registry. Gravis Autonomous Excavator System has 4 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy. ### What is Gravis Autonomous Excavator System's maturity stage? Gravis Autonomous Excavator System is at the pilot stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Pilot stage means at least one named-customer trial deployment is verified. ## Sources (3) 1. https://www.unite.ai/gravis-robotics-raises-200m-series-a-to-scale-autonomous-heavy-machinery/ 2. https://www.therobotreport.com/2026/08/17/gravis-robotics-raises-200m-for-autonomous-construction/ 3. https://www.inc.com/softbank-gravis-robotics-200-million-autonomous-construction.html ## The verified answers - [Which robots are deployed in the most cities](/which-robots-are-deployed-in-the-most-cities.md) - [Which types of robots are deployed the most](/which-types-of-robots-are-deployed-the-most.md) _API: GET /v1/models/218d9208-6488-4920-a6b0-2a3dd08b8a91 · canonical URL: /models/gravis-autonomous-excavator_
