Proptech startup Bedrock Robotics has nailed down nearly $300M to accelerate the construction process, especially for data centers.
Bedrock makes sensors that automate construction vehicles, like excavators, so they can clear sites on their own. Manufacturers can add Bedrock’s products to their existing machines, co-founder Boris Sofman told The Wall Street Journal.
The company, just 2 years old, ultimately aims to help contractors speed up construction timelines with machines that can operate 24 hours a day.
With the fund-raise, the startup is now valued at $1.75B.
Alphabet investment arm CapitalG led the round. Nvidia’s venture arm and Valor Equity Partners’ artificial intelligence fund also contributed, as did previous backer 8VC. The funding round was months earlier than planned, as the pace of the technology’s creation persuaded CapitalG to invest and spark another round.
As it stands, the machines need to learn how people work, so they require human supervision. The technology is comparable to that found in robotaxis from companies such as Waymo.
In the future, Bedrock plans to expand its offerings to be compatible…
