A new robotics company called Gritt has emerged from stealth mode with $34 million in funding, aiming to automate the toughest tasks on construction sites. The company plans to start by deploying robots to build solar power plants, with ambitions to expand into other areas of construction later. Gritt's robots are designed to handle heavy, dangerous, and repetitive work that is currently done by human workers, potentially improving safety and efficiency. The funding round was not disclosed in detail, but the money will be used to develop the technology and hire more staff. Construction automation is a growing field, with many startups seeking to address labor shortages and productivity challenges in the industry. Gritt's focus on solar plants aligns with the global push for renewable energy. The company's long-term vision is to automate a wide range of construction tasks, from earthmoving to assembly. By reducing the need for manual labor on hazardous sites, Gritt hopes to make construction safer and faster. The company has not yet announced when its robots will be commercially available.
