About Gravis Robotics
Gravis Robotics AG is a Swiss physical-AI startup that spun out of ETH Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab in 2022. Based in Zurich, the company retrofits existing construction machinery with a rooftop sensor-and-compute pack, letting excavators and wheel loaders trench, grade and load material autonomously. Gravis says its Rack hardware and Slate tablet interface can lift site output by roughly 30% and are already deployed on active jobsites across seven countries via customers such as Holcim, Taylor Woodrow and Flannery.
