Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Installation of an aftermarket 'Exosystem' kit on standard excavators, converting them into fully autonomous robots for trenching and foundation work.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Solves the operator shortage in remote infrastructure projects. Unlike full custom robots, this is a 'bolt-on' to existing fleets (Caterpillar/Komatsu), making adoption purely an OpEx decision. Essential for the solar boom."

warning The Challenge

Solar farm construction requires digging hundreds of miles of identical trenches in remote locations. Finding skilled operators willing to do this repetitive work for months is difficult. Human error leads to inconsistent trench depth and rework.

psychology The Solution

Installed the Exosystem (Lidar, GPS, Compute) on top of standard excavators. The robot can be geo-fenced to a specific area. The operator sets the trench parameters (depth, slope), and the robot executes the dig autonomously. One human supervisor can manage a fleet of 5-10 robots from a tablet.
