Gravis Robotics expands into US with autonomous construction equipment platform

Gravis Robotics, the physical AI platform for heavy industry, has announced its full commercial expansion into the US through its live, production-scale autonomy tech to CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas. In collaboration with its partners Develon and Hitachi, Gravis will be demonstrating its systems’ earthmoving capabilities – including autonomous trenching and bulk excavation – enabled by its retrofit hardware that is currently in use on construction sites around the world. Proven production-scale autonomy Founded in 2022, Gravis has emerged as a leading provider of production-scale autonomy for earthmoving equipment. Unlike traditional automation, Gravis’ Physical AI continuously senses, decides, and acts alongside human crews on real-world sites. Its platform fuses physical perception from a range of sensors – LiDAR, cameras, GNSS, and hydraulic feedback – with online learning and control. This allows the machines to “feel the soil” and adjust in real-time to changing ground conditions, and helps teams execute tasks with consistency to boost productivity and safety. Gravis-powered machines are already deployed across major infrastructure and materials projects in seven countries spanning the UK, Europe, Latin America, Asia and now the US. This includes a 60-mile autonomous oil and gas pipeline project with Techint Group, the first partner to deploy Gravis’ autonomy in Argentina. The project involves multiple 36-ton Gravis-powered excavators autonomously digging six-foo...
