Gravis Rack is a modular retrofit hardware kit (LiDAR, cameras, GPS, hydraulic sensors + onboard compute) for excavators and loaders; AI model learns terrain conditions in real time and adapts autonomous excavation passes (terrain-aware dig, bucket fill, truck loading). Gravis Copilot (launched CONEXPO 2026) is the entry-level machine-guidance platform offering AI-assisted operation while remaining autonomy-ready. Operator can switch between manual, copilot, and full autonomous modes on a touchscreen.
