Civ Robotics spots Series A funding for automated surveying - The Robot Report

Civ Robotics, a San Francisco-based company founded in 2018, has raised $7.5 million in Series A funding, bringing its total investment to $12.5 million. The company develops automated surveying robots called CivDots, unmanned ground vehicles designed to mark thousands of precise coordinates daily on large construction sites. CivDots can perform surveying tasks up to eight times faster than traditional methods with an accuracy of up to 8mm, reducing errors and improving efficiency. The technology requires no specialized expertise to operate and works effectively across challenging terrain and weather conditions. Civ Robotics aims to modernize the $3 trillion infrastructure construction industry, focusing on sectors such as renewable energy, solar farms, roadways, data centers, and power plants. Civ Robotics has deployed over 100 surveying robots globally, partnering with major firms like Bechtel, Signal Energy Constructors, and Trimble, signaling growing trust in automation within the historically slow-to-adopt construction sector. The company has contributed to the construction of
