Built Robotics

Built Robotics develops the Exosystem™, an aftermarket upgrade that transforms heavy equipment into fully autonomous robots. The company retrofits common construction equipment (bulldozers, excavators, dozers, loaders, skid steers) with an AI guidance system combining sensors from autonomous vehicle technology with a software stack built exclusively for construction applications. The autonomous equipment can perform earthmoving, trenching, foundation work, demolition, and grading tasks. A web-based platform allows remote supervision by robotic equipment operators (REOs) who are trained equipment operators elevated into a new role managing autonomous equipment. Founded in 2016 by Noah Ready-Campbell and Andrew Liang, Built Robotics has deployed autonomous equipment on projects across the U.S. and Australia, including highway demolition (I-5), wind turbine foundation excavation, residential site grading, and solar farm pile driving. The company has raised $112.3M in total funding and continues to expand its autonomous capabilities.
