Why do we need physical AI for welding steel in fixtures? Can't we just numerically program coordinates and adjust for drift every few thousand cycles. That's how most automotive companies have been doing it for decades now

Ferbin4 months ago

most failures aren't the welding. they're part setup. if the part sits wrong, does this adapt or just fail?

Eva Al Soofi4 months ago

👍😊

I like the focus on production environments here. That's where the real learning loop gets built, especially for touch, manipulation, and sim-to-real transfer.

Physical AI is becoming more practical with every deployment.

GarethTheDreamer4 months ago

Sim-to-real transfer on those hydraulic hands is legit! Embodied AI finally moving past the demo phase. 🤖

Industrial welding is perfect

EgoScale4 months ago

Interesting demo. Curious how the system handles part setup variation or small fixture drift. Does it adapt in real time, or is the workspace still tightly controlled?

So many robotics companies trying to solve everything at once… Last year I talked to Nima Gard, Director of AI at Path Robotics about this… Doing one thing really really well. They went after welding. Today they’re introducing Rove™, which 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. Path Robotics (Columbus, Ohio) has raised more than $300 million in venture capital to build autonomous AI-powered welding cells. I think the tech is pretty impressive and video really cool. Congrats guys! Credit: Path Robotics

“Blue-collar jobs are safe from AI.” Not for long. This welding robot climbs vertical steel walls like Spider-Man. While everyone is watching AI replace coders and office work… industrial robots are quietly entering the physical world too. Welding. Grinding. Inspection. Rust removal. The scary part? Software automation was the easy phase. Now machines are learning to work in the real world.

Robot dogs are now welders! 👨🏼‍🏭 Path Robotics launches a mobile welding robot on quadruped platform, called Rove. This quadruped robotic welding system is paired with their Obsidian physical AI model. Obsidian already delivers autonomous, adaptive welding inside fixed cells. Rove brings intelligent welding to the part rather than moving the part to a fixed workstation. Shipbuilding, heavy construction, and large-scale fabrication share a constraint, massive assemblies and workpieces that cannot be moved or fixtured inside welding cells. These conditions have limited welding automation in environments that need it most, just as skilled welder shortages reach critical levels. Legged robots have long been considered too unstable for precision welding. Rove changes that. Obsidian provides the perception and adaptability needed to operate in high-variability environments. Saronic Technologies, a leader in autonomous maritime vessels, is one of the first early adopters, integrating Rove into its physical AI-powered shipbuilding operations in Franklin, Louisiana. 🇺🇸 Welding requires millimeter-level precision on a moving quadruped platform, considered impossible until AI-based perception and control made it feasible. 🔥 Andrew Lonsberry gotta be honest, but a welding robot dog wasn't on bingo card for 2026. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Welding robots. The original use case for industrial automation—first deployed in the 1960s at GM. 60 years later, they dominate automotive body shops. Hundreds of robots in perfect sync, laying thousands of spot welds per vehicle. But step outside high-volume production and they're rare. Most fab shops still weld by hand. Why? Every new part needs skilled programming. Path planning. Torch angle. Travel speed. Wire feed. Gas flow. All tuned for each weld on each component. The economics only work if you're making thousands of the same thing. High-volume? Solved. High-mix, low-volume? Traditional welding robots fail here... but watch this space a few start ups are starting to fill the gap.

Humanoid robots are taking over the largest robotics and AI show in America. Grady Trimble got an inside look at the robot family stealing the show and how they are being used in the real world. "AI is enabling robots to do all kinds of work, stuff like this, and hospitals, in factories, in warehouses... It's not just entertainment," President of the the Association for Advancing Automation Jeff Burnstein says.
