About Bedrock Robotics
Bedrock Robotics develops retrofit autonomy for contractor-owned heavy equipment. Bedrock Operator adds a same-day sensor and compute package to excavators without permanent machine changes; its end-to-end machine-learning model perceives terrain, plans motion and executes excavation after a site manager sets the initial plan. Bedrock says the system was trained across tens of thousands of field hours and stops automatically when a person or unauthorized object enters the protected area.
Founded in 2024 and led by former Waymo engineers, Bedrock moved from supervised jobsite testing in 2025 to operator-out commercial excavation in August 2026. Its systems were then working at a Sundt water-treatment project in Nevada, a Champion Site Prep earthworks project in Texas and a 1.2-million-cubic-yard Zachry civil-sitework project. The earlier Sundt deployment had moved more than 65,000 cubic yards while loading human-operated articulated dump trucks.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-08-17 - Deployment - Bedrock starts operator-out excavation on three commercial projects
Sundt Construction advanced from supervised testing to fully autonomous excavation at a Nevada water-treatment project. Champion Site Prep began fully autonomous excavation on a large earthwork project in Texas. Zachry Construction began using Bedrock-equipped excavators on a 1.2-million-cubic-yard civil-sitework project.
Source - 2026-02-05 - Funding - Bedrock Robotics raises more than $270M in Series B funding
CapitalG and Valor Atreides AI Fund co-led the round, with Xora, 8VC, Eclipse, Emergence Capital and other investors participating. The financing took Bedrock's total disclosed funding above $350 million. Bedrock planned to accelerate operator-less excavator deployments and begin development work on two additional machine types.
Source - 2025-11-18 - Deployment - Bedrock completes supervised excavation at two customer sites
The Bedrock-equipped excavator moved more than 65,000 cubic yards on the active Sundt project. The system performed repetitive truck loading while human operators continued to drive the articulated dump trucks. Bedrock also completed autonomous excavation for a customer prototyping facility at Proto-Town in Central Texas.
Source - 2025-07-16 - Funding - Bedrock Robotics discloses US$80M across seed and Series A
Eclipse led the seed round and 8VC led the Series A; the issuer did not allocate the US$80 million aggregate between them. Two Sigma Ventures, Valor Equity Partners, NVentures, Crossbeam Venture Partners, Raine Group, Tishman Speyer, Atreides Management, Al Rajhi Partners and Samsara Ventures also invested. The financing supported development and deployment of a retrofit autonomy system for existing heavy-equipment fleets.
