NeXtera Robotics
NeXtera Robotics, started at MIT and backed by Y Combinator, builds AI-native autonomous robots for construction sites: as-built laser scanning, 360-degree visual data capture, floor layout painting/printing, and on-site prefab mini-factories. With Gilbane Building Company it formed a joint venture to develop Didge, an AI platform whose autonomous mobile robots (wheeled and stair-capable tracked versions, ~6 h per charge, self-driving-style navigation) patrol sites 24/7 for progress tracking, safety surveillance and field-to-BIM data capture. Investors include Y Combinator, Seabed VC, AWS Robotics Startup Accelerator and Vision Capital Ventures.
