# Exosystem

Manufacturer: [Built Robotics](/companies/built-robotics)  
Category: construction

## Summary

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.

## Top line

> 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.
