#108 – Autonomous Robots Driving Down Costs for Sustainable Infrastructure with Civ Robotics

Hosted by Lisa Ann Pinkerton

In this episode of Earthlings 2.0, we speak with Tom Yeshurun, CEO and Founder of Civ Robotics, about how his company is transforming the construction industry with autonomous layout robots. From military service to construction tech, Tom shares his journey with building the company, how their robotic solution, the CivDot rover, replaces months of manual layout work with precise robotic automation, and why he believes building reliable, “boring” infrastructure tech can have the biggest impact.

Talking Points

  • Robots augment the workforce, not replace it: CivDot helps fill labor shortages — particularly in remote areas — by automating repetitive, hazardous tasks and enabling workers to focus on supervision and tech-driven roles, rather than replacing human jobs.
  • A ‘boring’ robot that quietly transforms infrastructure: While not flashy, Civ Robotics builds behind-the-scenes systems that radically improve efficiency, safety, and repeatability for massive infrastructure projects like solar farms.
  • CivDot automates the layout process to boost speed and safety: Civ Robotics’ autonomous robots streamline the process of marking layout points — doing it faster and more precisely — while working alongside surveyors to accelerate timelines and reduce manual, high-risk tasks.
