advanced ROBOTIC systems for the
Construction industry
Build the Future of Autonomous Construction
Construction sites are dynamic, unstructured environments where equipment, workers, materials, and changing terrain must be carefully navigated and monitored. Autonomous systems can take on dull, repetitive, or high-risk machine operations while enabling crews to focus on the tasks that require human judgement.
The result: safer jobsites, more consistent performance, and increased productivity across the construction workflow.
Applications:
- Autonomous excavation
- Grading and earthmoving
- Materials handling and hauling
- Site preparation
- Demolition
- Route Clearance
NEWS ALERT:
Neya Systems and GS Engineering have announced a strategic collaboration to advance robotic and autonomous construction equipment in support of defense capability development.

Autonomous systems enable skilled operators to supervise machines, intervene when necessary, and concentrate their expertise where it delivers the most value.
N-DRIVE™ AUTONOMY
Construction equipment operates in some of the most unpredictable environments in the world. Our autonomy stack, N-Drive, gives machines the intelligence to navigate dynamic jobsites, understand their surroundings, and execute work with precision, without relying on predefined routes or controlled environments. From moving through active jobsites to positioning for the next task, N-Drive enables construction machines to autonomously navigate, adapt, and act in real-world conditions. N-Drive autonomy combines cameras, LiDAR, radar, and machine data to enable construction equipment to safely navigate and perform assigned tasks.
FLEET MANAGEMENT: Multiple Machines. One Operator.
As construction fleets become increasingly autonomous, managing individual machines becomes only part of the challenge. Operators need intuitive, easy-to-use controls to understand what is happening across the entire jobsite. Using our Mission Planning and Management System (MPMS) for fleet management, operators can coordinate multiple machines from a centralized interface, helping teams move from single autonomous vehicle platforms to full-fleet autonomous jobsite operations. This capability enables users to link construction behaviors across multiple vehicles, providing a unified view of fleet-level outcomes.
SIMULATION: Test Before You Deploy
Construction environments can change rapidly. Using our Virtual Integration and Simulation System (VISE), operators can evaluate engineering performance across different site layouts, terrain conditions, equipment configurations, and operational scenarios before deployment on a live jobsite.
In addition, because VISE® fully integrates with MPMS for fleet management, users can test multi-machine operations in simulation before deploying on a live site. VISE is highly user friendly and doesn’t require simulation expertise to use.
Virtual testing can help to validate:
- Navigation and obstacle avoidance
- Excavation behaviors and general terrain interactions
- Pickup, transport, and placement activities
- Safety performance
- Unexpected terrain, weather, and environmental conditions
