Gritt exits stealth with $32M for construction robots starting with solar plants

TechCrunch·medium signal

Gritt emerged from stealth with roughly $32–34M in funding to build robots that automate the hardest physical tasks on construction sites, beginning with solar plant assembly before expanding to general construction. Solar is a smart wedge — the work is repetitive, outdoors, and geometrically regular, which is exactly where current manipulation policies actually generalize. Construction labor automation has failed repeatedly on task variability, so the narrow-first strategy is the interesting bet here.
