SAN FRANCISCO, July 1, 2025 — Civ Robotics, the leading construction robotics company, announces its $7.5M Series A funding round, led by AlleyCorp with investments from Bobcat Company, ff Venture Capital, and previous seed investors. This brings the total funding to date to $12.5M. This new investment will support further development of its construction robots and expansion into new global markets, with an emphasis on renewable energy and solar.
Civ Robotics has over 100 of its robots deployed to job sites around the globe. This signals that industry trust in automation is increasing for a sector historically slow to adopt new technologies. The US-based company is scaling rapidly, expanding into new regions including the EMEA and other regions, with additional markets on the horizon. The company’s commitment to bringing more efficiency to renewable energy projects is a key focus of its strategy. This year, Civ Robotics also reached profitability, proving the demand for more efficiency and precision in major infrastructure projects.
Civ Robotics’ flagship products, CivDots, carry out construction surveying up to eight times faster than traditional methods. With an accuracy of up to 3/100’ (8mm), the bots ensure fewer errors are passed downstream into the build phase. Operation requires no expertise, empowering workers of all backgrounds to carry out key surveying tasks. Working across even challenging terrain and through all weather conditions, CivDot can mark up to 3,000 points per day. The technology is being developed and implemented into new autonomous products specializing in other areas of construction.
Major engineering and construction companies, including Bechtel, have entrusted Civ Robotics to handle key surveying tasks. “On the utility-scale solar projects we work on, being able to save time while maintaining high standards is a godsend,” says Kelley Brown, Principal Vice President U.S. Renewables at Bechtel. “By improving our survey time sixfold, Civ Robotics has helped us keep our projects on schedule. We’ve relied on CivDot for four years so far and will continue to implement the bots across our organization.”
The technology supports a wide range of construction projects, from renewable energy to large-scale infrastructure projects. One standout area has been solar farms–Civ Robotics has played a role in the construction of over 20 gigawatts of solar farms worldwide and marked over 10 million coordinates to date on these projects.
"We recognize the immense potential of automation to propel our industry forward. As we accelerate our development in this area, Civ Robotics has demonstrated a proven value proposition, validated in real-world environments," said Joel Honeyman, Doosan Bobcat Vice President of Global Innovation. "Through our investment and partnership, actionable solutions are being created, reshaping how work is completed."
“We got so frustrated with inefficiency in construction,” says Tom Yeshurun, CEO and Co-Founder of Civ Robotics. “We’re very happy to be joined by Bobcat and others to support this mission to bring robotics to an area that has long lagged behind technologically.”
