About Blake B.

We exist to help manufacturers navigate the skilled labor shortage.If human welders were readily available, we would\'ve stayed out of the welding business. With a 600k welder shortage forecasted by 2030, skilled welders will become more scarce and your competition will make it even more challenging to keep the welders you have.To bridge the gap across the world, manufacturers are looking to automation and robotics at exponential levels, with forecasted growth of $10 Billion in the next five years.At Path Robotics, we\'re building the intelligent infrastructure of modern manufacturing. By combining artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision, we make robots that see, think, and adapt, turning complexity into productivity.Our mission is simple: create real value for our customers while rebuilding the backbone of American industry. Every breakthrough in our technology is measured by the results it delivers to our customers: more uptime, higher quality, and a stronger, more resilient manufacturing
