Gravis Robotics
Gravis Robotics sells autonomy hardware and software that retrofits excavators with sensors, a rack-mounted compute stack, and touchscreen controls so earthmoving crews can run terrain-aware assisted or autonomous cycles on construction sites.
Gravis targets heavy civil and earthworks jobs where repeat passes and long cycles dominate productivity. Its public messaging claims terrain-aware excavation can lift throughput by up to thirty percent compared with traditional operation, alongside safety benefits from keeping operators out of the highest-risk positions (Gravis Robotics, 2026).
The product story centers on the Gravis Rack as the integration spine for retrofit kits, pairing machine-mounted sensing with onboard control software and an operator-facing touchscreen. That packaging is meant to drop onto existing fleets instead of forcing a greenfield robot purchase.
News updates on the same site reference partnerships with equipment OEMs and a U.S. expansion narrative tied to trade-show launches, which signals enterprise sales and pilot deployments rather than a consumer app. Expect custom statements of work, integration with site rules, and training for superintendents.
Autonomy on live jobsites still demands clear geofencing, emergency stop behavior, and alignment with local regulations for heavy equipment. Treat marketing throughput numbers as directional until you benchmark on your material, slope, and production metrics.

Frequently asked questions
What does Gravis Robotics sell?
The company markets autonomy kits built around the Gravis Rack, sensors, and operator interfaces that retrofit construction excavators for assisted or autonomous work cycles.
Is Gravis Robotics only software?
No. Public materials emphasize hardware plus software as a combined retrofit, not a pure SaaS download. Expect onsite installation, calibration, and integration work with your fleet.
How much does Gravis Robotics cost?
Pricing is not published on the marketing homepage. Contact the vendor for quotes that reflect machine types, fleet size, service terms, and geography.
Does Gravis Robotics replace human operators?
Messaging focuses on augmenting crews and improving safety and productivity, not removing supervision. Local regulations, union agreements, and insurer rules still govern who must be present on equipment.
Which machines work with Gravis?
Updates on the site discuss OEM partnerships; confirm supported models, hydraulic interfaces, and warranty impacts with Gravis and your dealer before you pilot.
Where is Gravis Robotics available?
