Value proposition

Solves critical labor shortages and safety risks by enabling existing heavy machinery to operate autonomously with 'system-level' coordination, increasing site productivity and precision.

Products and solutions

["Autonomous Retrofit Kits (Sensor and actuation hardware for existing fleets)","Bedrock Autonomy Engine (AI software for unstructured environment navigation)","Multi-Agent Fleet Orchestration Platform (System-level coordination for connected machines)","Remote Operations & Monitoring Dashboard"]

Unique value

Focuses on 'system-level' autonomy where fleets of different machines coordinate collectively, rather than just automating individual units in isolation.

Target customer

Large-scale construction firms, infrastructure developers, mining companies, and heavy equipment fleet operators.

Industries served

["Construction","Infrastructure Development","Mining","Earthmoving and Excavation"]

Technology advantage

Leverages a 'retrofit-first' model that allows contractors to upgrade existing assets without massive capital expenditure on new fleets, powered by a leadership team with deep expertise from Waymo and Anki.

How they differentiate

Focuses on 'system-level' autonomy where entire fleets coordinate collectively via a multi-agent orchestration platform, rather than automating individual machines in isolation.

Main competitors
