Path Robotics is using AI-driven vision guidance to steer welding torches through complex joints in real time, CEO Andy Lonsberry said on The Robot Report Podcast. The Columbus, Ohio company identifies the torch path with AI and then moves the robot along that trajectory, maintaining optimal position throughout the weld. Path is also deploying Boston Dynamics' Spot quadruped robots into mobile welding applications for shipbuilding. Lonsberry leads strategy and operations with a focus on applying physical AI to manufacturing challenges, building adaptive robotic systems for production environments.
