Built Robotics builds construction autonomy. The Exosystem is an autonomy kit that retrofits standard excavators for autonomous earthmoving and trenching, and the RPD 35 is a robotic solar pile driver that installs utility-scale solar piles several times faster than manual crews. It is enterprise B2B equipment sold to contractors, not a consumer product, so there is no consumer price. Built has raised funding for the Exosystem (about $64M per trade press). The registry has no structured deployment records yet; commercial use is documented via the model's sources.
Readiness
Exosystem is internal use only (not for retail), no capability claims are on file, the model has no verified field deployments in the registry, and no incidents are on record.
