Bedrock Robotics secures $600 million as excavators work on commercial sites

Bedrock Robotics raised $600 million in a Series C funding round co-led by CapitalG and Emergence Capital, as its autonomous excavators take on paid work at commercial construction sites. The round brings the company’s total funding to nearly $1 billion.

Bedrock said it will use the capital to equip more construction machines with its technology and grow its field, commercial and operational teams. The funding follows the company’s move into paid commercial work. Bedrock began using autonomous excavators at active construction sites in August, according to the company and the reports.

TheAIInsider said new deployments span Texas, Minnesota, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, Missouri, Georgia and Arkansas, and reported that Bedrock’s customer base has more than doubled since 2025.

TechCrunch provided specific examples of current work: excavators equipped with Bedrock technology are operating at a water treatment facility in Nevada and an earthwork site in Texas run by Champion Site Prep. The company’s technology is also in use on a civil sitework project with Zachry Construction Corporation involving 1.2 million cubic yards.

These deployments show the commercial settings the new funding is intended to support, though the reports do not state how much of the round will go to any particular project or customer. The two detailed accounts emphasize different aspects of the financing.

TheAIInsider focuses on Bedrock’s plans to add equipped machines and expand the teams that support deployments, while TechCrunch highlights operating sites and the size of the Zachry project. Both report the $600 million raise and name CapitalG and Emergence Capital as co-leads. TechCrunch also reports a $4.1 billion valuation, a figure TheAIInsider gives as well.

Bedrock described the funding as a way to broaden deployment and strengthen the operations around its machines. CEO and co-founder Boris Sofman said it would help the company work with more partners integrating autonomous systems into everyday work.

He also framed the opportunity as helping experienced construction crews take on more projects and deliver infrastructure more consistently. Those are the company’s stated aims; the reports do not quantify productivity, safety or cost results from the active sites. TechCrunch reports that Bedrock was founded in 2024 by people with experience in autonomous vehicles and robotics.

It also says Sofman co-founded and led Anki Robotics, which made the Cozmo consumer robot and shut down in 2019. The outlet notes that learning to operate an excavator takes five years or more, attributing that figure to Bedrock; the report supplies the claim as context for the company’s automation effort, not as an independently measured result.

The immediate question for the company is how quickly it can turn the financing into additional equipped machines and support for customer deployments.

Bedrock’s stated expansion plans, the listed states and the named active projects provide concrete markers for tracking that growth, while the reports offer no deployment timetable or performance figures for the machines currently working at those sites.
