SoftBank Leads $200M Series A for Gravis Robotics, a Record in Construction Robotics

Gravis Robotics has closed a $200 million Series A round, led by Japan's SoftBank as the sole investor, setting a new record for construction robotics. The company, spun out of ETH Zurich in Switzerland, develops hardware-agnostic physical AI software to boost automation in construction. Its AI adapts to dynamic job sites, using data to bring factory precision to civil engineering. SoftBank may later acquire the firm, with this round seen as a key step.
