Built Robotics anchors DEPLOY's construction category. Physical AI is broader than humanoids: construction autonomy is enterprise infrastructure, and the verified-vs-claimed framework applies the same way (verified what is deployed, claimed what is projected).
💡
Built's wedge is the retrofit model: rather than building a new machine, the Exosystem adds autonomy to standard excavators, and the RPD 35 attacks one high-volume task (solar pile driving) where speed versus manual crews is the selling point.
Price
No reviewed price is on record. We do not treat unverified analyst estimates as pricing data. Built Robotics does not publish a consumer price. The Exosystem (excavator autonomy retrofit) and RPD 35 (solar pile driver) are enterprise construction equipment sold to contractors under negotiated contracts, so there is no consumer or list price. DEPLOY records zero price points rather than inventing one.
Availability
Internal use only
These are enterprise B2B construction systems, not consumer products. They are used on commercial jobsites (utility-scale solar piling, earthmoving, trenching), but you cannot buy one as a consumer.
Real-world status
DEPLOY classifies Built Robotics' maturity as commercial. The Exosystem retrofits standard excavators for autonomous earthmoving and trenching, and the RPD 35 is a robotic solar pile driver reported to install utility-scale solar piles several times faster than manual crews. Built has raised funding for the Exosystem (about $64M per trade press; funding totals for this entity have been prone to aggregator drift, so DEPLOY cites the sourced figure cautiously). The registry has no structured deployment records yet; commercial use is documented via the model's sources.
