Overview
Gritt Robotics is a Bay Area construction robotics company building physical AI systems that automate labor-intensive tasks on outdoor construction sites, starting with utility-scale solar farms. Rather than building humanoid robots, Gritt bolts AI-powered robotic arms onto off-the-shelf construction equipment (skidders, telehandlers, excavators) from manufacturers like Kawasaki, enabling an 8-person crew to install 3,000-4,000 solar panels per day versus 800 manually. Founded in 2023 by Carnegie Mellon roboticists Puneet Puri and Vishal Dugar, the company has raised USD 32.4M from Obvious Ventures, Union Square Ventures, and First Round Capital, and is contracted to install 2.8 GW of solar over 18 months
Clean safety record across 1 verified deployment. Active fundraising activity with a recent closing. Deployment footprint remains limited relative to category peers.
