Bedrock Robotics raises a $600m Series C at a $4.1bn valuation to put self-driving excavators on more US building sites

Bedrock Robotics announced a $600m Series C on Monday 26 October. Its release on GlobeNewswire refused our reader twice, so the figures here are as two outlets each reported them. Robotics & Automation News reported “a $600 million Series C financing at a $4.1 billion post-money valuation”, co-led by CapitalG and Emergence Capital; SiliconANGLE describes the fund as “Alphabet's CapitalG”. The AI Insider reported the same valuation and co-leads. Both say the round brings Bedrock's total funding to nearly $1bn.

New investors named include USIT, Bessemer Venture Partners and Temasek, and existing backers 8VC, Georgian, Valor Equity Partners and Nvidia also took part, the outlets report.

Bedrock sells the Bedrock Operator, a kit that makes existing excavators drive and dig on their own. SiliconANGLE reports that it uses eight cameras and a lidar, and a chip from Nvidia that it does not name. Robotics & Automation News reports that since mid-August 2026 its machines have been “fully autonomous excavators performing paid work on live commercial job sites”.

It follows another large round for AI-driven robots: the Switchboard reported Eka Robotics' $150m Series A on 21 October.
