Bedrock Robotics has secured 600 million dollars in a Series C round co-led by CapitalG and Emergence Capital as its excavators move from trials to commercial construction sites. Its equipment can be fitted to existing vehicles. The company is expanding field support and deployment after starting paid earthmoving work alongside crews already on site.
Bedrock Robotics, a developer of autonomous systems for heavy equipment, raised 600 million dollars in a Series C co-led by CapitalG and Emergence Capital. The round follows its move into paid construction work. TechCrunch describes commercial excavator operations at a Nevada water-treatment facility and a Texas earthwork site. CapitalG, an investor in the company, dates the start of paid work on active sites to August.[1], [2], [3]
The company’s approach equips existing construction vehicles with a self-driving kit. Bedrock Operator combines onboard computing with sensors to guide earthmoving and navigate a worksite. SiliconANGLE describes a roof-mounted sensor assembly supplying information to a computer in the cabin. Its account also describes motion sensors that help establish the vehicle’s orientation when uneven ground or nearby buildings complicate satellite navigation. The system is designed to operate within construction crews’ existing workflows. According to Bedrock, cameras and lidar monitor the surroundings, including in low light. The cabin computer uses an Nvidia chip whose model the account does not identify. The sensor equipment supplies information for decisions made aboard the vehicle, rather than requiring a replacement excavator.[1], [2]
Bedrock says the new capital supports more deployments and the teams and infrastructure required to assist contractors in the field. The company was founded in 2024; chief executive Boris Sofman previously led Waymo’s autonomous-trucking effort. Its next operating challenge is supporting the technology at additional contractors. CapitalG says the customer base has more than doubled since 2025, an assertion from a participant in the financing. TechCrunch identifies Haydon, an Arizona contractor, as its latest partner. Amy Jones Satrom joins as vice president of operations, and Lando Juarez becomes general counsel. The additions accompany the move from pilots to customer support at working sites. Co-founders Kevin Peterson and Ajay Gummalla also previously worked at Waymo. Tom Eliaz brings earlier experience at Segment and Twilio. The founders bring experience in autonomous vehicles and robotics. Total fundraising since Bedrock’s creation approaches 1 billion dollars.[1], [3]
