About
About Teleo
Teleo develops supervised autonomy for heavy construction and mining equipment. Retrofit hardware adds cameras, sensing, drive-by-wire control and communications to existing machines, allowing one remote operator to supervise autonomous cycles and directly control equipment when judgement is required.
The system targets repetitive haulage, loading and site movement while preserving the customer's installed fleet. A command centre presents machine status and lets operators manage multiple assets across locations. Teleo raised a US$16.2 million Series A extension in 2024 for deployments and product development, and joined Havoc's autonomy group in 2026.

Notes
Profile notes
- Teleo's machines alternate between autonomous routines and remote human control
reviewed 2026-07-18 - Teleo retrofits existing heavy equipment so routine portions of work can run autonomously while a remote operator takes over complex tasks. One operator can supervise and switch among several machines, including machines at different sites.
