## AI overview

Path Robotics raised $300 million in a Series E led by Georgian, valuing the industrial welding automation startup at $2.45 billion. Its Obsidian model is designed to adapt robotic welding to heat-driven metal distortion and variations between parts. Four lasers on the torch illuminate the work; two cameras capture reflected light, and data gathered before, during, and after each run informs a "weld world model" used to generate simulated projects for training. The company first developed Obsidian for welding cells and says it also powers Rove, a four-legged robot for shipbuilding. Path says its software can support manufacturing for vehicles, generators, utility poles, and other heavy equipment.
