Brooklyn-based Cohesive Robotics builds AI-enabled robotic workcells for high-mix manufacturing, using its proprietary Argus OS software to scan parts and automate finishing and welding without conventional robot programming. The company’s roots in metal fabrication and finishing shape systems intended for the variable, often one-off work found in architectural fabrication, aerospace and defense maintenance. It also applies the same in-house technology to contract finishing projects, with typical turnaround of less than a week after parts arrive.
Path RoboticsDesigned and built in Columbus, Ohio, Path Robotics develops AI-powered welding automation for manufacturers handling real-world parts, from large structures to ship hulls. Its Obsidian system uses vision and adaptive software trained on tens of millions of welded inches to find seams and adjust welding in real time, while the newer Rove platform brings that capability to mobile, large-scale fabrication. Path also supports its welding cells through a robots-as-a-service model with 24/7 mission control support.COLUMBUS, OH
aRoboticsCompany IncFrom its New York workshop, aRoboticsCompany Inc. builds portable robotic systems and custom tools for inspecting, maintaining, and repairing critical civilian and defense infrastructure. Its robots combine in-house fabrication, electronics, software, and specialized sensing for work ranging from building and runway assessments to maritime and energy-asset sustainment. The company’s clients include U.S. military and federal agencies, and it is a winner of the NATO DIANA Challenge and the NYC Department of Buildings Challenge.OSSINING, NY
Titan Robotics, IncFounded in 2014 by Carnegie Mellon faculty, Titan Robotics develops adaptive robotic systems for high-mix, low-volume manufacturing and aerospace maintenance. From its Pittsburgh-area engineering base, the company combines robotics expertise with its proprietary Titan Controller so operators can use complex processes without programming or hard fixturing. Its field deployments include systems for aircraft paint removal, inspection, repair, and finishing.333998CORAOPOLIS, PA
Mach MachinesFounded by CEO Jandre TerreBlanche after he saw welding robots sitting idle in U.S. fabrication shops, Mach Machines designs and integrates robotic welding automation for fabricators of all sizes. The Cincinnati-area company focuses on high-mix, low-volume work, pairing custom systems—including large-format gantries—with VC Robotics offline programming software so manufacturers can program and control production independently. Mach Machines also provides installation, training, and ongoing field support from system delivery through production.CINCINNATI, OH
