Saronic Collaborates with Path Robotics to Integrate Physical AI for Manufacturing, Accelerating the Revitalization of American Shipbuilding
Saronic partners with Path Robotics to integrate physical AI welding robotics into its Franklin, Louisiana shipyard, accelerating the production of autonomous maritime vessels and defining next-generation American shipbuilding.
“Restoring America’s maritime industrial capacity requires rethinking how shipyards are designed and operated from the ground up. At Saronic, we are exploring how physical AI and automation can help advance shipbuilding operations, just as our autonomous systems are transforming maritime operations at sea. This collaboration allows us to learn how Path’s technology can be applied within our shipbuilding environments and scaled to support a more modern, resilient production model.”
“We are proud to partner with Saronic, whose leadership in the maritime domain is helping advance a new era for U.S. shipbuilding. America’s shipyards are under immense pressure to deliver more capacity, faster, driving an increased demand for skilled welders. Physical AI gives them a new path forward — one that brings together skilled shipbuilders and advanced technologies. By embedding real-time intelligence directly into robotic welding systems, we’re enabling shipbuilders to automate complex, variable welding tasks, unlocking the next generation of manufacturing on the shipyard floor and empowering American craftsmen.”
