Robotics is eating construction, and the money is following.
In this week’s Bricks, Bucks & Bytes episode:
🤖 Bedrock Robotics emerges from stealth with $80M to retrofit autonomy into heavy machinery.
🚀 Field AI soars to a $2B valuation, backed by ex-NASA and Boston Dynamics engineers.
🦾 Dusty Robotics shows why printing blueprints on the ground isn’t a gimmick. It’s the start of field intelligence.
But that’s not all:
Tessa Lau (Dusty Robotics) reveals how layout, a 5,000-year-old process, became the wedge for automating the connected job site.
Kevin Peterson (Bedrock) explains why idle excavators are the biggest hidden cost in construction, and how AI-trained “drivers” can fix it.
Patric Hellermann breaks down why accuracy itself is a moat in robotics, and why overspeccing sensors early pays off later.
Mo dives into Japan’s labor crisis and why it makes them the global testbed for construction robotics.
🎧 Listen now for:
Why collaboration, not just autonomy, will define the first wave of robots on site.
The hidden financing gap in robotics (despite mega-rounds).
Why building “cool robots” isn’t enough, and you need to solve a real pain.
How hardware + SaaS creates sticky robotics businesses.
