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.
