A weld seam spec'd at 3/16" arrives at the station anywhere from ⅛" to ¼". A 45° bevel drifts between 40° and 50° across its length. A skilled welder scans the joint, adjusts, and executes without thinking twice. A traditional welding robot fails. That's why shipbuilding, heavy equipment, and structural steel stayed manual for 60 years, not because they didn't want automation, but because automation couldn't do the job. That's changed. New on the blog: how AI-driven welding is reaching the industries automation left behind. Link in comments. What's the most "un-automatable" part in your shop? path-robotics.com/blog/the-i…

Heyo

#Actuate2026 @PathRobotics and @matter_vp are hosting a low-key breakfast the next morning: coffee, food from Hilda & Jesse, and a chance to keep talking shop with the people you just spent two days with. No agenda, no pitches. Just a good excuse to compare notes on where robotics is headed, catch up with the Path team, and meet a few more people building in the physical world. Space is limited and registration needs approval, so request your spot early. luma.com/mattervp-854j

Rebuilding America's shipbuilding capacity is a national priority. And the Navy can't afford to wait. Today, Path Robotics announced a landmark $900 million deal with @WeAreHII and @GrayMatterRobot to help close that gap and transform U.S. shipbuilding with physical AI. As a part of the agreement, HII intends to award Path Robotics up to $600 million as the companies work together to expand production capacity across America's shipyards. We're proud to be helping shape the future of American shipbuilding through physical AI. Read the full story below. path-robotics.com/news/hii-s…

Scan. Plan. Weld. Before the arc starts, Obsidian generates a sub-millimeter point cloud of the seam, capturing root opening, bevel angle, and variation along the joint. Then it plans the passes, sets the parameters, and welds. No perfect fit-up required. No reprogramming between parts.

You can't reshore what you can't staff. The barrier to rebuilding American manufacturing dominance is the welder shortage decades in the making. We built Physical AI to close that gap: robots that see, reason, and learn while building, not just repeat. This is the Path Robotics story. youtube.com/watch?v=cI1Xawnf…

Tomorrow, Obsidian hits the Automate Show floor. For years, Obsidian, Path Robotics' physical AI for manufacturing, lived inside welding cells. Trained on tens of millions of welded inches. Now it walks. Rove is the mobile embodiment of Obsidian. Come see it live at Booth 3431, South Hall, June 22–25.

@AutomateShow 2026 is almost here. Booth #3431 in the South Hall, June 22–25. Come see Rove, the world's first mobile autonomous welding platform. We can't wait to see you!

Thanks for the post! @PathRobotics is proud to be part of the solution to the labor shortage that's crippling American manufacturing. The future looks bright!

Rebuilding the fleet isn't a shipyard problem. It's a manufacturing problem. We'll be at the @AmDefAlliance's Navy & Marine Corps Procurement Conference in Norfolk this week to talk about what autonomous welding actually looks like in a shipbuilding operation. Find the @PathRobotics team. We'd love to talk.

Introducing Rove™ Weld anything. Weld anywhere. Rove™ embodies Obsidian™ — Path's physical AI model for manufacturing — on a legged mobile platform. The result is the intelligence to autonomously weld with the mobility to bring the worker to the work.

Reindustrialization won’t be funded into existence. It has to be built. And right now, the constraint is physical capacity: welding hours + skilled labor. Feb 11 • 1 PM ET 30-min webinar: How Physical AI Will Rebuild American Manufacturing w/ @PathRobotics CRO Heather Carroll. What we’ll hit: labor bottlenecks, lead times, and how Physical AI for welding is being adopted to increase output on real parts. Register → path-robotics.com/landing/ph…

The bottleneck isn’t funding. It’s throughput. When welding capacity is the constraint, ship dates move, and everything slips. Feb 11 • 1 PM ET 30-min webinar w/ @PathRobotics CRO Heather Carroll: How Physical AI Will Rebuild American Manufacturing Register → path-robotics.com/landing/ph…

Path is proud to announce two new members of our board of directors: Frank Klein, COO of @RocketLab, and Geoffrey Chatas, SVP for Operations at @Yale University. As we scale physical AI across factory floors worldwide, their operational and financial leadership strengthens our next phase of growth. path-robotics.com/news/path-…
