Physical AI
for manufacturing

A once in a generation opportunity.

Trillions are being invested in new infrastructure, yet the real bottleneck is not capital or demand. It is the shortage of skilled manufacturing labor needed to fabricate, assemble, and deliver the physical systems those projects rely on. Path's physical AI solves that.

From Andy & Alex

We grew up in Ohio, welding with our dad in the garage. That's where we learned the value of hard work, precision, and the pride that comes from building something real.

Years later, while earning PhDs in AI-related fields, we started to think about what we wanted to do next. We didn't want to build software that lived only on a screen. We wanted to bring intelligence into the physical world, to create technology that builds, just like we did all those years ago in that garage.

That's why we started Path.

Because the future of manufacturing won't build itself. We are building the intelligent automation that can. Robots that see, think, and adapt. Systems that make factories more flexible, capable, and resilient. So people can continue to do what we do best: imagine, create, and push the world forward.
