Path Robotics specializes in autonomous welding for the manufacturing sector, using AI technology to enable robots to independently scan, position, and weld parts. Their system creates a 3D model of each part, allowing for flexibility in handling variations without needing identical components. Unlike competitors, they offer a pay-as-you-go subscription model, which means clients only pay for the services they use, and all preventative maintenance is included. The goal of Path Robotics is to enhance manufacturing efficiency and reduce costs through their innovative welding solutions.
