## About

Gravis Robotics AG, founded in 2022 by CEO Ryan Luke Johns, Marco Tranzatto, CTO Dominic Jud, Simon Kerscher and Pascal Egli in Zurich, Switzerland, focuses on providing solutions for autonomous earthmoving. In August 2026, Gravis Robotics AG raised USD 200 million in series A funding from SB Investment Advisers. The Series A values company at USD 1 billion post money.

Gravis Robotics specializes in autonomous earthmoving technology, primarily through its core product, the Gravis RACK, which retrofits existing construction machines. This innovative system integrates advanced sensors and an intuitive touchscreen control, augmenting traditional crews to enhance productivity and safety on construction sites. The Gravis RACK enables terrain-aware excavation, which allows for increased throughput of up to 30%, thereby addressing the end-use cases of improving efficiency and reducing operational risks in construction environments. The company serves a diverse clientele, including construction firms and equipment manufacturers, with products designed for international markets, particularly in Europe, North America, and Asia, where there is a growing demand for automation in heavy machinery.

Gravis Robotics generates revenue through a robust business model that includes direct sales, partnerships with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and potential service agreements. The company structures transactions through B2B relationships, where construction firms purchase the Gravis RACK alongside necessary support services to ensure optimal integration into their operations. Pricing plans are tailored to meet the needs of clients, encompassing one-time payments for hardware as well as ongoing subscription models for software updates and maintenance services. Key offerings, such as the Gravis RACK, represent major revenue contributors, as they cater to a market increasingly focused on enhancing productivity and safety through advanced automation technologies.

Anchored by the Series A financing from SoftBank Group, Gravis Robotics plans to accelerate global commercial rollout of its autonomous earthmoving platform across construction sites on multiple continents, grow its engineering and machine-learning teams, and expand manufacturing and retrofit infrastructure so its operating system can be embedded across broader fleets of heavy machinery, deepening integration with equipment manufacturers, dealers and infrastructure operators worldwide.
