استارتاپ سوئیسی Gravis Robotics که کارش رو از دانشگاه زوریخ شروع کرده، تونسته یه جذب سرمایه تاریخی ۲۰۰ میلیون دلاری توی سری A به رهبری غول سرمایه‌گذاری یعنی سافت‌بانک بزنه به جیب

🚨 BREAKING: @GravisRobotics has raised $200M in the largest Series A in construction robotics history, led by SoftBank! 🔥 Spun out of ETH Zürich in 2022. Three years later, $200M and SoftBank backing. The company is bringing autonomous AI to the most physically demanding machines on earth. Excavators. Heavy construction machinery. Equipment that hasn't fundamentally changed in 50 years. 🚜 Most physical AI operates in static worlds. Self-driving cars navigate around obstacles. Warehouse robots move objects across fixed floors. Everything stays where it is. An excavator does the exact opposite. It works by intentionally crashing into the environment, breaking apart soil with hidden rocks, reshaping the earth with every single pass of the bucket. The world changes with every action the machine takes. → Gravis AI doesn't navigate a static world, it actively takes the world apart and puts it back together → Models trained on billions of cubic yards of simulated earth, from soft clay to rock-filled soil → Generalises across different machine manufacturers — not locked to a single platform → Brings factory-floor precision to historically unpredictable civil jobsites The macro case is overwhelming. Energy networks, data centres, housing, transit, climate infrastructure, all of it requires construction at a scale the existing workforce cannot deliver. Construction is the primary bottleneck of the entire physical AI economy. The same AI boom driving demand for data centres is now funding the robots that will build them. Europe keeps producing world-class deep tech. 🇨🇭🇪🇺 To the team behind this, MASSIVE CONGRATS! Can't wait to publish what we have created onsite with Gravis team! 🫶🏼 ~~ ♻ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → http://ziegler.substack.com
