DevOps on 36 Ton Machines: Shipping Software to Autonomous Excavators in the Desert
summary
A 36‑ton autonomous excavator runs day after day in the Argentine desert with intermittent 10 megabit per second links, constant vibration, dust and water that routinely fry electronics, and safety risks when software misbehaves. Gravis Robotics uses three concrete gates to ship reliably: simulation in CI to catch logic errors early, hardware-in-the-loop to surface unforeseen failure modes, and final on-machine testing before release, while reusing proven DevOps tooling rather than building bespoke stacks.
