Massive autonomous robot is 3 to 5 times faster than a human construction crew The robot can drive heavy steal beams into the ground at a rate of 1 per 73 seconds, which will help expedite solar farm construction

Built Robotics Unveils Autonomous Pile Driving Robot, Expediting Solar Rollout Utility solar construction is ripe for disruption, and automation will be critical to get us to our clean energy goals

Built Buys Fellow Construction Robotics Firm, Roin This isn’t one of those cases of a one-to-one technology acquisition. Rather than being competitors, it seems the two construction systems can be potentially complementary, representing two distinct pieces of the broader construction puzzle.

Built Robotics Raises $64M to Transform Excavators into Robots The company business model is such that it does not charge a large upfront capital cost. Installation and training are included in a monthly rental fee and hourly wage, which makes it more approachable even for a small or mid-sized contractor

Self-Guiding Bulldozers, Mining Trucks Build in Worker Safety Built Robotics specializes in creating guidance systems and software that are mounted on the equipment and wired into the machine’s electronic controls. Within a year, Built Robotics-equipped machines could be available to contractors working on a small project who might need a machine for just a day.

Autonomous Vehicles May Become More Common at Construction Sites Than on Roads San Francisco-based Built Robotics is among the first to roll out autonomous construction vehicles at construction sites. The company has three track loaders that can dig, move and grade materials all on their own.

Could This New Tech Help Us Build More Houses? San Francisco-based Built Robotics says its autonomous track loader, which has been leveling ground at Bay Area construction sites since last fall, will be a safer, more efficient alternative to using human drivers — and the company plans to expand its technology to other heavy machinery.

Mortenson Reaches Agreement to Deploy Fully Autonomous Equipment In a bid to speed work on projects in remote sites and cope with labor shortages, Mortenson has announced an agreement with tech start-up Built Robotics to expand the contractor’s deployments of fully autonomous construction equipment on renewable energy projects.

Startups Pivot to AVS for Farming, Shipping, and More ‘Constrained autonomy’ is an under-explored but potentially massive opportunity. Expect more entrepreneurs and investors to take notice.

Built Is a New Startup Changing the Construction Industry Built Robotics is a new startup that’s bringing autonomy to the construction industry. They added sensors and trackers capable of withstanding the vibrations and shock of moving around earth.

This Company Turns Old Excavators and Bulldozers into Smart Machines By 2030, analysts estimate that the global construction industry will be worth $8 trillion, with that growth being driven by the U.S., India, and China. Amidst the building rush, however, there has been a shortage of skilled workers.

Watch This Autonomous Bulldozer Excavate Dirt without a Human Operator Built Robotics is a new company coming out of stealth today that aims to disrupt the $130 billion excavation industry with its fleet of autonomous earth movers. Rather than sit in the dusty cab all day, operators can program the coordinates for the size hole that needs digging, then stand off to the side and watch the vehicle do all the work.

This Robot Tractor Is Ready to Disrupt Construction In this dusty arena, a startup called Built Robotics is testing what it thinks is the future of construction: the autonomous track loader.

Hot Construction Tech Startups Raising Venture Funding With proptech funding booming and experts predicting that housing prices will continue to rise in the 2020s, a new slew of construction technology — or contech, for short — startups have emerged that are aiming to make building cheaper, easier, and safer.
