9 Welding Robots to Watch From Fabtech 2021

Path Robotics autonomous welding cell

Fabtech 2021 was Path Robotics’ first physical trade show after completing its A, B, and C venture capital funding rounds.

Path’s robots use proprietary computer vision and artificial intelligence to see what is in front of it, understand what it is supposed to do, and weld the product together at the push of a button.
